Scattered and overwhelmed

Hello everyone, I'm new to Bigger Pockets and feeling overwhelmed with all the information here. I've been claiming to be a Real Estate Investment guy for 9 months and still haven't closed my first deal. I'm like the kid in a candy store... so many choices. Tried wholesaling and thus far ended up wasting a lot of my time and money. Considered flipping and discovered I need a lot more money than I currently have. Learned about Note Investing from a Podcast. How did you settle on your chosen path in Real Estate Investing?

@Andrew Gibson You don't need to settle on a path, you need to find a deal. The deal determines how you will sell it and, if you buy right, you can sell pretty much any deal.

You should be attending all your local investor meetings - go to MeetUp.com - to find what investors in your area are looking for, what they buy and where, how they find their properties, etc.

Over time you will no doubt wholesale, rehab, hold rentals, etc. all depending upon the property you find as well as your finances at the time. Build your solid foundation (knowledge and contacts) and your business will come.
