Finally Took Action

What’s up BP?

My name is James and I’m a beginner wholesaler who struggled with analysis paralysis for about 6 or 7 years. I’m in the Broward/Miami-Dade area and came across wholesaling while doing research on YouTube. Of course like most of us, I spent countless hours watching webinars and reading about wholesaling but never took action. I always felt I needed to know more, which ultimately held me back from taking initiative. After so many years of just sitting on the sidelines, I finally decided to get in the game. I was nervous about the responses I would receive from annoyed home owners but decided to go for it. I told myself I had to just rip the band-aid off and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. So far, I received a few responses from owners who wanted me to stop contacting them and other owners who said the property wasn’t for sale at the moment. Now that I got the monkey off my back, I realized the worst that can happen is someone will tell me no. Despite those responses, I will continue pushing towards my goal of getting my first deal. I know it won’t be easy but I know it only takes one yes. This post is very long winded so I’ll start wrapping it up here. I will try my best to come back to this post and give weekly updates on my wholesale journey. Wish me luck and I hope you all have a great day.

@Joe Villeneuve So to clarify, my main focus should be finding out what my buyers are looking for and target those homes based on their criteria instead of just marketing to any and every homeowner?

YES.  Reverse engineer your system.
