Fake it 'till you make it or ask for help/advice/suggestions?
Howdy!
As a newbie wholesaler, I've heard/read lots of people say "fake it 'till you make it", which makes perfect sense to me as far as presenting yourself to others as a confident real estate investor who knows what he's doing and not just another new face that's gonna give up in 2 weeks or has no idea what he's doing.
But when dealing with other wholesalers or investors who might be able to help me out, should I just keep the fact that I'm a rookie and still learning the ropes to myself, or should I just be open and let them know that while I pretty much know what I'm doing, I'm new to real estate and don't understand exactly how some processes work?

Actually our montra should be "learn it until you earn it". I just made that up, but sounds good to me.
