Hi Everybody. My name is Dion and I am new to biggerpockets. I have been reading some of the comment here and have tuned in on some of the verbal battles regarding wholesalers. Some like them. Many don't. Anyway, my interest here is to learn as much as I can about wholesaling property. Yes, I have read some books and articles on real estate investing; however, I have not made any actual investments. Two things I'm interested in learning more about are getting the numbers right and assignming a contract. Again, I'm a newbie and wanting to get off to a good start. Any sugguestions?

Hi Dion, welcome to BP. As far as the wholesaler debate goes, there are bad doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, and even wholesalers. Some bring value to the table, some don't. A good book I read called 'The Millionaire Real Estate Investor' said you've either got time or money. You never have both. We leverage our time with wholesalers finding our deals. I'm in contract right now and will close on Thurs with a wholesaler here in Houston. Good luck!
