Welcome!

Start off by completing your profile. It helps a lot with networking on here.

Other than that, be a sponge and soak up as much content to learn the game. Then take action. The last part is where results happen. Don't get stuck in education / analysis paralysis.

Welcome! 

Rentals and wholesaling are two completely different business models. You might want to focus on one, and use the other as a backup strategy.

Rentals: Focus on finding good rentals from direct marketing, MLS, wholesalers, etc. When you get a deal that doesn't make a good rental, but makes sense for another investor as a flip or short-term rental, then wholesale it.

Wholesaling: focus on marketing for off-market deals at huge discounts. Wholesale everything and keep a couple great rentals a year.

Quote from @Tramaine Robinson:

@Chris Bounds you still retired? Howโ€™s life? Is life what you thought it would be when you quit your 9-5?


 Still retired from a traditional W2 job, but working harder than ever! 

In hindsight, I would have held on a little longer and kept holding long-term rentals.

Flipping is great, but it's a job too.
