Aspiring Investor from Ohio

[David Washington]

Hello. I'm new to posting on BiggerPockets though I've been somewhat of a lurker for the past few weeks. Just getting to know the lay of the land.

I live in Toledo, Ohio and I am particularly interested in wholesaling (isn't every newbie?). However, there's a reason for my focus and it is a focus as I do NOT want to buy and hold and will only sparingly perform fix and flips God willing. Me and my wife have been interested in real estate investing for years (I bought Carlton Sheets No Money Down and still have it. Good program by the way) but have not been in a position to build something solid until now.

I work full-time and on a recent business trip to Wisconsin, I listened to about 12 hours of the Bigger Pockets Podcast. I had downloaded and listened to every episode on wholesaling I could find. I also listened to several other episodes. I found a portion of the information very helpful. 

So just popping in to say hello though I have another post about my particular predicament I'm in and didn't want to clutter up the introduction with info not relevant to the thread. So I will post that in the appropriate thread.

Thanks for reading. God bless.

@David Washington, you'll find out soon (if you haven't already) the the words "wholesaling" and "Ohio" used in the same sentence, creates lengthy "discussions" here on BP. The long and short of it is: The Ohio Regulators are NOT happy about anyone advertising, or profiting from, the sale of property that they don't own, unless they are LICENSED to do so. So, if you're that desperate to take on a second job (that's what wholesaling is), my advice is: get your RE License! 

Or of course, you could just BUY (and pay for, to get Title) each property, before you wholesale? Cheers...
