Where to start?

Hi, 

My name is James and I am going to start my real estate career. I have heard great things being a wholesaler to start off, and I have bad. I have a normal job and work full time, and don't have collateral to flip/ rebab yet. So my question is, how many of you have started off being a wholesaler?

 The best deals I am generating are from people with problems!!

Remember this business, in its truest sense, is "professional problem solving." (Trademark pending😜)

The secret to getting a great deal is to position yourself in a place where you can consistently find people with issues that you are able to solve.  

Check your local public records for pre-foreclosures, bankruptcies, divorces, probates, code enforcement liens, etc.  All these can be a treasure trove of deals that you can turn into a truckload of equity.

Hope this helps.
