Advice for a Newbie

[Stephanie Lopez]

Hello I am new to the investing industry and have been reading/listening to podcast and reading forums. I went on Craigslist today and found the post attached. I decided to reach out. He responded with

“Hello this is Felipe wholesaler in Orange County
Nice to hear from you hope your event went well

I have motivated cash buyers
That love places in distress or properties that aren’t listed in the market”

I’m wondering how legit this is if he is a wholesaler and truly has buyers he is working with. Should I meet this person over coffee? Any advice would be appreciated..before I meet a stranger from Craigslist

hi, happy to help but not sure what to say here. just to be blunt, you're asking random people on the Internet... if you should meet another random person that you found on the Internet.  i cannot vouch for Felipe either way as i do not know him nor the market.

are you going to meetups?  That's a great way to meet people in real estate.  if you meet someone in person that 5 other people you know have vouched for that is pretty solid.

what are your goals?
