what questions should i ask when wholesaling?

[Nino T. Barone]

OK so this morning I was passing by a house that was listed for sale. Out of curiosity I called the owner and asked how much and why they were selling. She says she's asking 280k and she's selling cause she is 71 and she can't take care of the property any more. Of course in my head I'm thinking "OK, this may be an opportunity for me to dig further into wholesaling". My stopping point of course is that I don't know what questions to prod with to get more information to see if this is an opportunity. I'm very new, am trying to get involved in a local REI in central FL but every time I try to go my J O B schedule interferes. Where could I start, what questions should I be asking to identify opportunities, and how can I maybe find a mentor without joining an REI?
