Newbie saying hi from Anaheim, CA!

Seve Chong

Hello Everyone,

My name is Seve and I am a 23 year old guy from Anaheim, CA! I have been scouring this website for the past couple of months and am floored by the camaraderie and selflessness shown by the members!! I have read the beginners guide a couple times now, some of the books that members recommend, and have listened to every single podcast!

A little about me, I got my real estate license about 5 months ago and have been trying really hard to get some deals going. Specifically, I am trying to focus on and learn as much as I can about wholesaling and fix and flips. I plan on being very active on the this forum as I am sure I will be running into many questions, so I apologize in advance! :-)

Lastly, I understand the importance of mentorship. Aside from using BP as a resource and virtual mentor, I'd love to find someone who is willing to show me the ropes. Now I know I need to bring something to the table for such a relationship to work and I can tell you I have the time and willingness to do any legwork to be a useful asset in order to learn what it takes. I can guarantee you I'd jump through fire to be successful at this. With that being said, I'd love to offer free coffee or drinks to anyone that is willing to spend a little time with a newbie!

Thank you and I look forward to being apart of this awesome place!

Hi Seve Chong nice job getting that license! Once you get the hang of your market, you'll see that the license you got is more like a license to print money! Since your an agent now, remove "wholesale" from your lexicon, it's a disgusting word. Your a professional now and you will be brokering transactions accordingly; furthermore, agents don't really wholesale their deals. Your held to higher standards as a professional in your field (not saying wholesalers do not have standards) but, people typically wholesale deals because they usually don't have a license and since you do, your focus should be on listing houses for sale and getting the tens of thousands of other agents in your area to work for you (in a sense) and sell your inventory. This is much more sophisticated than "wholesaling," and, profitable. ;) good luck to you.
