Wholesale Newbie - Houston, TX

[Carmen Massie]

I am new to wholesale and would like some advice on joint venturing. My knowledge in real estate has been obtained from working as a loan officer, loss mitigation specialist in mortgage banking (HUD certified) and a housing counselor. I worked with families going through financial difficulties and assisted them with loss mitigation options and bankruptcies. These were homeowners that attended workshops looking for help.

I am considering doing wholesale deals in Houston, TX, Memphis, TN and Chicago, IL and need advice if wholesaling can be done long distance or is local preferred.
