Beginning Wholesaling
Hi,
I will be starting classes to get my real estate license within the next few weeks; I have always had an interest in flipping and eventually, buy and hold. But my biggest fear was starting out; taking out a loan or using savings for the initial investment, and hoping that everything works out. With student loans and other expenses, I was hesitant to take the risk.
So, with the BiggerPockets and my independent research, I see that wholesaling is a great way to gain capital, which would help with my startup. But I'm still unsure of where to begin! There's so much information to process and I'm having a hard time deciphering what's what... but I do know that I would want to function as a bird dog, at this point.
Can you guys offer any assistance? Any information that you could offer? Mentoring, possibly? Personal experiences as a newbie? I am located in Philadelphia, Brewerytown, very eager to learn and begin earning as soon as I can.
Thanks, in advance!
Tiffany
