At least I have company as far as being confused, so I don't feel hopelessly dumb:https://www.forbes.com/sites/brendarichardson/2020/04/11/apartment-industry-urges-sba-treasury-to-close-paycheck-protection-loophole/

As others have suggested LV is a great market, and really being hit by Coronavirus due to the nature of the industry.

Experience and stability matters--really, that goes for any industry, look at the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Hello I am an investor friendly agent trying to connect with like minded people in the industry on the Eastern Shore of MD. 

I cannot think of one industry out there that doesn't have some form of wholesaling, so don't feel bad about what you are doing.

My experience comes from the Energy sector, Renewables sector ( have my own solar company), as well but also CREI in MF, Shopping Centers, Industrial, etc, but I always wanted to get into the developer side of things, but not to just build but to create meaningful projects.

I'm in sales in the automotive industry for my job.

Do you study and read about the industry?

When you are older, you will be very thankful that you did.Spend the next 24 months educating yourself about real estate investing and meeting people in the industry.
