Newbie Wholesaling Question
Hey everyone. I've been on BP for a short time so far but I'm loving it. I have been reading and getting as much information as I can everyday and it has been going very well so far. Today I read this article:
http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/25/how-to-start-wholesaling-getting-past-the-education-and-into-the-field
This has opened my eyes quite a bit and has me questioning if I am even capable of wholesaling or RE Investing. I don't have any sales experience, for one thing. Wholesaling also doesn't exactly sound like what I am looking for as far as my goals go. My plan is to flip a few houses and then hold one. Flip a few more to pay that one down. Flip a few and old another. Of course, I have no experience in any of this. I have never even purchased a home before. The plan sounds good to me but since I don't have any experience and I haven't grown into this business organically, I'm not sure what to do.
Is wholesaling the way that I need to start out in order to be successful or is there another way to move me toward my goal without wholesaling? Do I need to learn sales and negotiating skills in order to do this? Should I take a Sales & Marketing class?
Thanks everyone,
Mike
