Newbie to Wholesaling

Shana Miller
  • Chicago, IL
Posted

Hello All,

I am new to wholesaling and I must admit that I am a nervous wreck. I have watched videos that has given me a bunch of information. I have joined plenty of groups, read and heard plenty of success stories and here I am eager to start but I am the type of person who is so scared of messing up that it holds me back. That is where I am today.

Do any of you have any suggestions for people just starting out? Solutions, motivation, tips, lessons learned, helpful tools to use or anything? I have seen different ways to possibly go out to find sellers, such as bandit signs, landlords and the MLS. Is there an easier way? Do you suggest that a newbie has a mentor? Anyone in Chicago willing to be a mentor?

Any help at all is appreciated!

I am currently in the western suburbs of Chicago on my first live in flip house hack... landed a sweetheart deal and am looking to expand in the next two years to bigger propertys with money in hand. This time I did everything I could to get into the duplex. If you have any questions or need a good lawyer, cpa, lender. Just reach out. As for the work being done most of this first one is done by me and I have local guys to help. Either way congrats and welcome!!
