Want to get started wholesaling
so I've been on the site for a month now and it looks like wholesaling is what I need to do. I want to start getting my ducks in a row, so I'm wondering about how to obtain a contract, do I need to see an attorney before doing this and what's the best way to find buyers when I do. I'm very new to this so type slowly and use small words ;)

Danny Winters how's it going. The guys have given some awesome information. You seem like you are motivated and I have a feeling you will do well.
Here are some tips I wish I knew starting out.
-Networking is key. Use Meetup.com and Eventbrite to locate real estate investor networking events. Build up to networking at least 6hrs per week. John Fedro has a good post about that.
-Market Consistently. Choose a couple marketing strategies and stick to them for at least 6mo. Divide your budget by 6 and spend that amount on marketing each month. A lack of consistent marketing and switching up the marketing too often usually leads to a lack of deals.
-Write your goals down and review them daily. Among many other benefits, this will keep you on track and prevent minor setbacks from being discouraging.
-Get a mentor. Find ways to add value to people that are successful and they will help accelerate your progress.
You are going to do well. Let's hear some success stories soon.
