Hello everyone, I am complete newbie to the REI world. I would really like to get involved in Wholesaling and then possibly venture into other aspects of the business. I must say that I have been overwhelmed by the TREMENDOUS amount of information on starting out. I am currently reading the BiggerPockets guide and trying to not get to overwhelmed. I hope to make some good connections on here especially from my local Charleston area and hopefully begin to build lasting relationships and maybe even get someone to help me out. I am willing to put in the work as well as work for someone in the hopes of obtaining some knowledge. At any rate, I do plan on taking action soon but I need to be a bit more comfortable . The post here are great and I am glad that I found this site. Talk to you guys/gals later. Stay Blessed!!

@Johvany Medina - Great! Welcome to BP Nation!

I am up in NC, but I love your part of SC! We usually get down that way 1-2 times a year. It is beautiful!

I personally LOVE the BP podcasts. They have been the best source of information for me. You can listen to them at 1.5x speed on the way to work etc. There are several very informative podcasts on wholesaling in the BP podcast directory HERE.

You mentionedaking action, and that is great, but take this time to get your REI investing business off to a great start (Yes, it is a business!) One thing you may want to consider is working with another wholesaler in your area. There is also nothing wrong with taking 6-12 months to study the ins-outs of your particular REI discipline, network with other wholesalers in your area, and THEN take action!

It also appears that you are married. I'm not sure how supportive your wife is currently with the idea of REI, but she is likely going to take some convincing as well. I know mine did!
