Hello from Jacksonville, FL
I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm an investor in Jacksonville, Florida. I was a police officer here for 18 years, doing investing on the side to supplement my future pension, but recently things have really started taking off and it overtook my full time job, both in time and pay, so I resigned and am now doing full time investing.
My main strategies have been holding rentals, and more recently flips (with very extensive rehabs). I've done a few wholesales, but only as an aside to my main niche of holding, and I never set out with the intention of doing it. With that said, I want to mainly focus on wholesaling now. Not because I want another job, but because in my opinion, that's where it all starts. The main goal is to cast as big of a net as possible and keep deals flowing into my organization, at which time I get to choose which ones to keep and which ones to wholesale. My problem is not a lack of knowledge or available information, but more of an analysis paralysis. There are so many ways to accomplish my goals that I truly don't know where to begin in building a profitable wholesaling business. I'm not one to ask someone to hold my hand, but it would be nice if someone could point me to a checklist of some type that basically breaks it down step-by-step so I don't waste time going down the wrong path and I implement an actual system instead of blindly throwing darts.
I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you. Thanks in advance for all of your help!
