I'm a newbie & I want to wholesale in the Golden Triangle! Help!
So I just retired from the military last December so before I get tied down by another job I want to give 100% to real estate but I need help. We bought our first property about a month ago and it's still sitting gutted and empty. More to come on that but I'm here seeking some guidance/a mentor to help me to get starting with wholesaling. Currently I'm working on finding buyers to create a list but how? Any advice?

Shawndrika Hardie instead of wholesaling why not get your RE license? Wholesaling js very difficult so just be aware of that.
I would not worry to much about having an extensive buyers list. I’d focus more on your marketing. You’ll want to spend 3-5k a month on marketing and you’ll want to figure out which type of list works best for you to target.
