Wholesaling: Starting From Scratch

On October 6th, 2020 after a long time not working and battling health issues I decided to brush myself off and get back in the game. I started by making the decision to flip houses, start by wholesaling, and repair/reestablish credit. 

As I start my journey I have had no income since March 2018. My wife has supported our family. I will be going back to work in the next few weeks. I have a zero budget for the most part and need to grind it out to create investment capital. As far as starting out goes I am starting from the bottom.  

Here are the steps I have taken over the last two weeks. 

  1. Pulled credit file from all 3 bureau's 
  2. Purchased BOA Secured Card
  3. Paid $75 annual fee for Credit One Card
  4. Went to GoDaddy and got Hosting and URL with a coupon code for $1.00 month with free domain, +$9.99 for domain secrecy to prevent telemarketing and such. Total Investment under $25.00
  5. Used the site builder at GoDaddy to build my landing page (FREE). Auto-responds to me email. 
  6. Added We Buy Houses Pages to 
    1. Facebook
    2. Instagram
    3. Twitter

    I am now working out a plan for the next 3 months to build credit, save for a down payment, generate wholesale leads, and market deals.
