Real Estate Investor

[Lana Starks]

Hi Everyone,

I am just getting started in Real Estate Investing as a Wholesaler first.  There is a lot to learn.  I have the Mortgage Industry as being part of my background.  So I have established relationships within that field and so I feel that Real Estate Investing is similar.  It takes establishing relationships with the sellers, cash buyers, other wholesalers, contractors if one is flipping a house and establishing relationships with banks and private lenders.

I have found, it's not that difficult to find deals that are off market.  There are two things that is  difficult for me.

1.  Finding the seller's current contact information (I do have skip tracing).  

2.  What to offer and getting the seller to say yes to the 60% to 75% below market value in this market.  

Sellers want the market value of their homes even though they are in foreclosure.  Any ideas?
