Hi,

I am a mortgage banking professional with 13 years of experience, primarily in mortgage banking support services with a major financial institution. Prior to working in a major financial institution I operated a small company that performed loan closings for large national title companies (2004-2010). Unfortunately the sub-prime boom that got me started with my own company was also its demise starting in 2008 when my clients starting going out of business left and right.

So, as I stated above, I have worked for a major financial services company for the past 6 years and now things are starting to get questionable here concerning downsizing in my location.

I have been looking to go back into business for myself for the past 2 years but was not able to pinpoint exactly what it was I wanted to do. So I have really been thinking about in more over the past couple of months and started looking into real estate investing, specifically wholesale residential real estate investing.

I decided to pursue the wholesale aspect since I just got married and purchased our first home, all within the last 3 months. So needles to say, my capital is a little tight at the moment.

Based on my research of the wholesale market, I realize that it is not a quick and easy way to get started; but I am more than willing to be patient and put together a great process in order to be successful. However, my ultimate goal is to build enough capital from wholesaling in order to start buying rentals that will produce cash flow.

All of that being said, I welcome all input and suggestions as the "newb". By the way, does anyone have any suggestions on a good CRM to use for lead tracking and management?

Thanks,
JC
