Get a coach/mentor if you can to shorten learning curve.

Nicole,Glad to hear you want to get started.You must get with a local team and coach/mentor in your chosen market.

If you are targeting the MF apt niche, first of all realize it is extremely competitive right now and getting the right mentoring / coaching and aligning with folks doing the business in a big way would be paramount for me.  

I'm not in the same situation as you, but I've coached quite a few people who are.

If you are just venturing out, I would look at a couple of strategies.  1) Education - bone up on books, BP podcasts on CRE, CRE forums, local MF meetups (Austin has one every Tuesday 11:30 at the Flying Saucer (in the Triangle)2) Network - Several meetup groups, Local BPers, meetup for coffee chats to see what folks are doing in this space and develop potential partner relationships.3) Coaching - Consider it if you want to ramp faster.4) Syndication - I wrote an article on BP on this approach below.  

Yet another option is to hire a coach or mentor to teach you the ropes.

Can I learn more from him or from a course with coaching?

I would suggest the business / real estate coach and then find out which broker works with that program.

I am not doing this because I believe I am an expert wholesaler (not even close, I am working on my first deal) but my goal is to have this list analyzed by experts, and investors, gurus, coaches here in BP and tell me if I misunderstood something, if I am missing a point, if I am not ready yet or etc.

I am new to REI (just started last month) and before I found BiggerPockets I had hired a local investor as my coach/mentor.
