Welcome fellow wholesaler! I love this job. Complex puzzles, working to help people, making money, and have fun! Good times.

Some advice for you... Read this book, Inspecting a House by Rex Cauldwell. This book will teach you how to look at a home to see its problems and therefore you can easily estimate the amount of repairs needed. You will never again see a house without noticing its flaws.  This allows you to get the house under contract for the correct price. Investors are conservative with their money, and will have a higher repair estimate than you, unless you are ready. And it could be embarrassing if you are showing the house and you never even saw a problem that is costly. Estimating repair work is the second most important part of our job, it gets the deal sold in the end, and gives you the leverage you need to have seller accept a lower price. Which allows for the first most important part, getting the signature.

Last piece of advice, you should NEVER go to a property alone.  Always take a male, if you must, a female.  I always bring my female assistant with me.  This is important for a number of reasons, your safety first and foremost, but the other simplest reason is the balance of energy to the group dynamic at the meet.  The female brings one aspect which is complimented by the male aspect. Typically the female brings a calm and friendly vibe, while the male brings the strength and business tone to a meeting. We all have fundamental view points depending on the sex of the other person that effect our interaction. A seller is no exception to this.  It is important for your safety as well as the overall effectiveness of the meet.

Good luck and congrats on your first deal already! That is amazing.  If you need advice or to have someone double check your deal numbers do not hesitate to reach out.
