Hi Everyone,
I am a new real estate investor in Jacksonville, FL. I am very excited to get my business going and appreciate all the advice you can offer! While I currently must work on my real estate business part-time, I intend to give it 150% so I can achieve a full-time status quickly. All unsolicited help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jen

You are in a great market for wholesaling. Until you learn enough to go it on your own, you might consider birddogging for the dominant wholesaler in your market so you can earn while you learn with minimal time and no mistakes.
The biggest mistake I see people make just starting out is reading an ebook or listening to a podcast and going out there trying to wholesale thinking they now know all there is to know. Best case - they waste a lot of time and money, blow opportunities that could have made them money, and raise the ire of the sellers when things don't work out. Worst case - someone files a complaint against them, and they are called before the state board of real estate and fined.
If you don't like that idea, hire a good on-site mentor. A good one will spend 3 days in the field with you and set you up with a turnkey business model that all you have to do is work.
