Will working for a real estate company as a realtor gain me this experience.

But if you have limited experience with real estate deals then you may want to partner and co-list with a realtor.  

In fact i just found out that its not another wholesaler, but a realtor who finds off market deals. 

I am in search of a Realtor in the area that has experience estimating repair/rehab costs, since I have 0 experience with this...I'm generally looking in the 145-180k for ARV , and 1.4k - 1.6k for rents. 

If it doesn't help you, then you're really just starting your investment career in tons of debt.I find, in most cases, a good mentor or investment group can provide so much more real world experience than many college courses can... so if you're going to spend the money, do it on a field that interests you... because you can be an investor AND be a doctor, lawyer, realtor, burger flipper, etc.

I've given multiple "go getter" realtors a try but so far, we're all circling on the same MLS alerts. 

Start with a neighborhood or zip code to focus on, check with realtors on where other investors are lookingTax delinquent propertiesLocal assessor to get contact info - see description belowMay be best to just get a plot of landMortgage delinquent propertiesLocal County Court - ask for “Notices of Default”County Recorder - http://www.netronline.com/ search via zip code for foreclosuresContact Lenders - ask to speak with who handles foreclosures3.Go through a wholesaler******* This could potentially save you massive amounts of time and headache1.

I am wondering if I need to get a realtor involved or what should be my next steps in buying my first duplex to house hack?
