How would you do it?

I been researching REI for more than 2 years now. I have been reading books and searching the web. I am a Realtor in the Southern MA area.  I have found B.P. my best source for REI knowledge. I have many ideas, but no concrete idea on how to get started. 
 Here is a list of things I do and don't have right now at my desposal. 
I have: someone with over 5,000 available for escrow.   I got someone with good credit. 
I live in a place ( south MA) where deals are there to be had.   Access to MLS.   Time. 
A active buyer. 
Many bandit sign in and around me. 
A wife a family whom support me. 
A guy to create my marketing material. 
Sales experience. 
B.P.
I go understanding of the rules of REI.

I don't have: 
My own money. 
My own good credit.
REI Experience. 
A mentor. 
A nice car. 
A BA in anything. 

Where would you start in my situation? What more do I need to make deals. Should my first deal be wholesale, rehab n flip, or hold n rent. Where and how can I acquire what I don't have? Whats the meaning of life.
All answers will be greatly appreciate, even if you think I should stick to my day job. Anyone with the answer to the last question, please call me on my cell at (774-360-6644 )  Phillip Freeman
