However, for the past few months I've been teaching myself about real estate investing by reading books, listening to audiobooks and watching YouTube videos. 

It's a complex topic, you can definitely learn more about the basics from YouTube videos. 

Either way, you need to find a commercial lender offering you a product that suits your requirements.

To start out, I would start by watching/listening to as many Bigger Pockets podcasts and Youtube videos as you can to see how you can build your buyers list.Bigger Pockets PodcastsBigger Pockets YouTube Channel

Great tenants are easy to find if you are providing a quality product in an area that people want to be. 

Avoid their free YouTube videos, their offers of newsletters, special reports and especially avoid attending their free introductory meeting or workshop.Then go ahead and decide if real estate investing is something you want to pursue.A MUCH better idea than starting as a “wholesaler” is to obtain your license and become a real estate agent.Becoming and agent has the following advantages over trying to wholesale1.

Personally, I liked just watching youtube videos and listening to podcasts.

Covid hit so my job went to 2 days a week so I couldnt justify hiring someone to do the total rehab so I did everything but the granite and tile bathrooms myself from the drywall to finished product!   

Look to talk to someone with insight on the matter.Recently watched the video of Rafael talking about making around $40k/month doing the arbitrage method.
