I am a newbie and interested in learning more about wholesaling as well.I listened to this BiggerPockets podcast the other day and it was very encouraging about how overwhelming everything can be. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/02/bp-podcast-116-how-to-quit-job-through-wholesaling-flipping-taking-action-with-nasar-elarabi/Check out other podcasts under the "Learn" tab, too!

@Cindi Boyer if you haven't started yet Cindi you should start listening to the pod casts, it is explained very well along with many more techniques to get started.

I will go listen to the podcast.

Found the Biggerpockets website, started listening to podcasts and felt compelled to join and get involved.  

I was listening to one of the BP podcasts today and the guest was saying that you just need to get out there and do it.

It probably wont be all that expensive and will save you numerous headaches. 

I listened to the podcast with you just this week. 

My advice would be listen to the podcast they are a wealth of knowledge and can often be utilized while doing something else (like my actual 9-5).

welcome to BP @Bo Woodenread,ask questions,listen to all the podcasts and then get to work good luck

@James Marie hey man, don't get too down about it.Couple things:1) RE isn't for the faint of heart, so know that out of the gate.2) it took me 10 months to find my first deal, and I was pretty active in looking.3) Take the time to listen to the last podcast, there is a great tip on this at the end that is simply put and says it all.4) Really using the word "motivation" is the wrong thinking, motivation comes and goes, it's more of an emotional response of sorts.
