Wholesale Vs Traditional Real Estate

[Michael Orakpo]

Hello BP Newbie Here,

 I am Brand new to the Real Estate world, but not the World of Sales. I'm young but have a good skill in sales, so I know if I put the time in over time it will pay off.

My question is which route would you guys consider, I love the idea of working at Networth Realty & selling wholesale properties to investors, but I also love  the traditional route of working at Keller Williams & doing traditional transactions. If anybody worked for either company or knows about both please chime in Thanks!

i'd go with the licensed route for 2 reasons:

1.  as a broker you get paid when you represent buyers as well as sellers

2.  wholesaling really only works in a buyer's market.  when your market is Seattle, San Francisco, Manhattan, etc., or any other strong seller's market no sane owner will sell at a 30% discount to a "cash buyer."  sure there are people wholesaling in those areas, but no where near the number in buyers' markets.
