hey folks; 1st-time poster here.i began an interest in RE investing about 3 mos ago. in that time, i've watched countless vids, read countless articles & how-to's, been to a few local meetups (REIA & the sort), started to study this amazing site, etc. i'm particularly interested in beginning my ventures in "wholesaling". it seems to be the best fit for my situation currently.one issue i face: i'm pretty-much brand new to social media. i started accts on several SM platforms and spend a good deal of my time trying to learn each particular medium - i know almost nothing about (insta, twit, LI, etc). i've been told repeatedly they're good to have for marketing.another issue: much of the investing information i have gathered thus far comes from people outside of my state (those pesky courts, right?)

The struggle that i'm dealing with now is that i don't have the personal funds to invest into these opportunity/ deals that are coming to me through phone calls, messages, social media.
