That will teach you alot more than getting a license.

The past 6 years I was a Senior level manager & I liked teaching employees.

This will teach you the basics of a real estate deal. 

Wholesaling is by definition buying property,goods or services then reselling them at a profit.Most RE seminars bring a group of people together by offering "free seminars" in "wholesaling", what they end up teaching is not Wholesale Property Buying, but "Contract Assignment" which is contracting a property and then assigning the contract to another party at a higher price.

It’s also best used for quick flips that you can get in and out of.If you want to flip properties you still have to hunt for great deals like you would if you were wholesaling  so the best thing to do is get to know some cash buyers and flippers as they will teach you the market what to look for etc.  

Thank you for your willingness to teach me some tips.

I've been looking around but can't seem to find anyone willing to let a newbie like me work on a few things for them, even for free or for a small percentage of the deals.I'm currently on an internship in Manila, Philippines teaching small enterprise education to clients for a Microfinance office and I'll be coming back to Utah the first week of August.
