New to Wholesaling / Flipping
- Hello BP community, I am 20 yrs old starting my RE investing career to get the financial freedom we all seek, but first... need the money. So I've just started wholesaling properties in Wichita Falls, TX. (moved here about 4 months ago) I haven't closed on a deal or anything yet, but I have been driving for dollars daily and evaluating tons of deals. Since I'm just getting started out my main focus has been building my buyers list, and familiarize myself with the market. What do you think my next step should be in order to get that first deal asap? I've been doing tons of research on the RE game and how to play it but would love to get some insight on where to take my real first step,

@Jacob Payne next step is to call a RE attorney. Have them review or draft up a contract that you will be using. Get a green light from the lawyer and start marketing for off-market deals. The most important factor in your RE growth is tracking how many new people you talk to everyday about buying or selling real estate.
