Newbie Wholesale/Fix and Flip Investor Saying Hello

[Jose Rodriguez]

Hello BP community,

I am a newbie looking to get into to wholesale and fix and flips.  I have 3 years experience in the mortgage industry and have great knowledge about bank loans and the traditional mortgage transaction process.  I had been contemplating becoming a real estate investor and much like a lot of people out there, I was afraid of the unknown.  I started educating my self; reading, listening to podcasts, reaching out to mentors, ect,..

I read the book "Quit Your Job in 19 Weeks or Less - The Ultimate Real Estate Investment Blueprint" by Sean Terry and was consumed by the concept of wholesales. Due to the nature of rising interest rates, my income took a hit with this shifting market so I figured there would be no better time than now to jump in full time into real estate.  I went ahead and resigned from my banking position and have taken a leap of faith into the real estate world.

I have assembled a small team a this point.  My fiancée is a licensed Real Estate Agent, her father focuses on the renovation of properties (fixes and flips for investors) and occasionally will fix and flip a property on his own. Both of them are established in their fields but I feel like I can help them and my self obtain long term success in this industry.

I am looking to network as much as possible and learn as much as possible. I have signed up for the AZREIA and will be attending a few meetings in the upcoming weeks.

If anyone has any pointers, tips tricks, or advice please reach out to me. I am looking to grow as much as possible and learn as I go.  I am currently working on marketing techniques for lead generation and will be putting them to the test next week.  If any newbie like my self is interested in comparing ideas please reach out to me.  I would also like to ask any seasoned wholesale/fix and flip investor if my ideas and strategies would stand a chance in this competitive market. I am seeking advice and help from everyone and anyone willing to give it.

I have listened to a ton of the BG podcasts as well as read a few books out there is so much more I can learn.

I look forward to connecting with everyone and am excited for this new journey.
