The expensive market of California

Bader Alameri
Posted
Hello everyone. My name is Bader Alameri and i live in San Jose California and I’ve been learning about real estate wholesaling for a while now am I believe I am ready to get on the field and actually flip deals. Now the fact that I live in California which is a very expensive market, I know that it will be much harder to find deals that are at least 70% of ARV. So my question is how can you do business out side of your local market virtually? Or is that even a thing? I thank you guys in advance for such a great website with so much valuable content. And also I would love to connect with investors and wholesalers that are in my local area already. Thanks a lot guys

@Bader Alameri You've gotten good advice here by the folks above me. 

Start small, take it easy and learn the ropes. Wholesaling might be the hardest option you can take considering the high attrition rate. 

Please, don't listen to BS gurus who tell you can get into the "game" with low or zero $. These guys are, mostly, scam artists who are trying to sell their products. 

There's a reason that millions of people have patiently become rich and stayed rich. They did't take shortcuts. Once you've mastered the basics, scaling up will not be a problem.
