New to Wholesale Real Estate Seeking Mentorship And Advice

Hi everyone!

My name is William, and I’m excited to be a part of this amazing community. I’m new to the world of real estate wholesaling, and I’m eager to connect with experienced investors and learn as much as I can.

I’m based in the Virgin Islands but have my sights set on wholesaling in Orlando, FL, where I see a lot of potential. My goal is to become a successful investor and eventually build wealth through real estate, and I’m hoping to find mentorship and guidance from those who’ve walked this path before me.

If anyone has any tips, advice, or would be open to sharing their experiences, I’d love to connect! I’m committed to putting in the work and making things happen, and I’m looking forward to being part of this great community.

Thanks for having me!

Best,

William

Hello @William Arias,

Welcome to the community!

I think several members here will agree that wholesaling abroad brings challenges to an already challenging business. You will be competing with people who have 'boots on the ground' and can visit any property owner with short notice.

While wholesaling from afar is possible, it is recommended to begin closer to home. If you're expecting property owners to sell their home to you at a discount, you'll need to earn their trust - whether that be by demonstrating a successful track record with purchasing/selling similar deals OR by meeting them face to face and separating yourself from the dozens of local investors and realtors.

Lastly, I'd recommend searching past posts related to this topic as well as checking out books related to your target investment strategies.

All the best!

Abel
