@Ned Carey that is an excellent point If i work hard enough it doesn't matter if I'm at the closing or not as long as I can do my job as the wholesaler establishing a Win-Win scenario for both seller and flipper/renter.  Thank you!

Thank you @Lee Ripma,  my current goal is very basic just to complete a deal but to arrive at that goal I still need to know more.  Getting started sooner rather than later would also be nice but location is now my main concern,  I am going to try and go to a meet in San Antonio as soon as possible to get some FaceTime with real investors.

Side note my post above looks completely awful i tried to put it back to formatted but ended up just reposting the whole thing,  I will never post from mobile again. I don't think I can fix it so my apologies.

Hi everybody, I have recently gone head first into all things real estate I found the podcast and was immediately hooked. I've listened to probably 15+ podcasts in the last few days and I'm currently in the middle of Josh and Brandons new "How to invest in real estate: the ultimate begginers guide to getting started". I am an obsessive type as you can tell, I like to answer my own questions through research in order to avoid looking stupid or lazy so I am really here for whoever can give me some solid advice. I began to dive into the BRRRR strategy and thought that was going to be my thing but like many beginners when I heard about wholesaling I became very interested. I already kindof know what I want to do to generate leads and find possible deals im just in a bit of an odd location situation. I am currently active duty Air Force stationed in Del Rio Texas, as I have been reading and absorbing information I have been planning on starting my REI career/hobby when I get back to my hometown of Melbourne Florida. I know quite a bit about the housing market in Melbourne thanks to my parents and growing up there know what areas are higher to lower income. I realized this morning though that I have the ability to start sooner if I were to possibly look for deals in San Antonio Texas since it's about 2 hours from me. The more I learn the more I want to actually get started so is it worth it for me to learn what I can about San Antonio and start searching for deals there or is there a way I can complete deals in Melbourne? The Melbourne option seems unrealistic because I feel like to be taken seriously I should be at closing and I feel like I have to be. There are a few pros and cons for both in my eyes but I'm only a few days into this so you guys might think I'm overthinking this. Any advice is extremely appreciated I love this community, thank you!
