That being said real estate investing is typically a long game and with just 2 years under your belt you’ve just started.

For example, in higher-end or luxury markets, where the price point is much higher, full-service staging can be a game-changer.

There are Class A industrial projects underway and the development of a large retailer.

Then connect with some hard money lenders (you can find some here on BP as well as some who are typing this right now) and connect with them to understand their product type, what they like to lend on and requirements.Hard money broker is all numbers game of making relationships and helping those that are looking for financing, it starts out slow but if you get with a few good borrowers and lenders it can be pretty decent money to be made.As an example we paid six figures last year to HM brokers. 

Other commercial and industrial is fine.  

@Kyle Cross you claim to know a lot about the industry, but your questions are vague and so is the info you've provided.Not sure how managing 8 units doesn't, "require much management"?

Alternative route I chose, I will leverage my duplex (purchased 4 years ago) equity through house hacking to have skin in the game on next flip.

I’ve been researching a lot about the basics, but I know there’s so much more to learn, especially from those who’ve been in the game for a while.I’d love to hear from experienced wholesalers about their journeys and any advice you have for a complete beginner like me!

I've been in the commercial real estate industry since 2006. 

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front.
