Newbie Wholesaler in Tampa Bay area

[Tyler Hall]

Hey everyone!

My name is Tyler H. I am an active duty military located here in the Tampa area and I am trying to get into the wholesaling business. I have only been on this site for a couple of weeks now and I am astonished at the number of people who are willing to help each other out, It is so cool and exciting! I am really trying to learn more about wholesaling and getting connected with some of the pros who are located in my area. I have spent the last couple of days driving for dollars and now I am trying to figure out which ones are good deals and which are crap. Some of the issues I am running into is making sure my numbers look correct. I have been practicing running ARV's and I am starting to feel comfortable with that but I am still struggling at trying to estimate repair costs. If anyone has advice on how to estimate those costs or if anyone knows any great articles or books that might help me I would appreciate it. I am also posting this to help out any current wholesalers or out of state investors who might need a bird dog to go drive around and find vacant looking properties. Just trying to help create value for someone else. If you have any advice or information that might help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
