Hi. I'm new and I have analysis paralysis and shiny object syndrome..(downloading books and reading real estate forums and trying everything). I like to thinknof myself as a smart, analytical type. I aspire to just wholesale my first deal for not alot or no money. I live on treasure coast of florida. I just want to get a deal! Ive been educating myself for about 4 months now and i feel i have just enough knowledge to get and close a deal. I have taken action but just a little here and there. I need a slam dunk easy place to start. However.. i work full time as a teacher, have our first child.. beautiful girl almost 6 months old, and I play and sing in a successful acoustic band on the side. I get up super early most days about 3:30am or so to get time to myself but often get sidetracked reading and talking to others in this biz. I want to target some kind of list or probate lists etc but need a strategy. For now.. im trying to organize things, delete email subscriptions and just declutter now that Ive been sucked in... any suggestions?

As a newbie, your main focus should be acquiring motivated seller leads. Either free (zillow, craigslist, etc.) or paid (Direct Mail, etc.) You can start by going through for sale by owners on zillow and craigslist and just call and make an offer on as many props as you can. Alot maybe other wholesalers and if so, see if willing to JV on deal if you find a buyer and split 50/50. For paid leads you can purchase a tax default or absentee owner list from rebogateway or listsource and upload to go big printing or click2mail and send out a postcard to generate leads. Hope this helps!
