Hi Everyone,

My name is Michael. I am a 41 year old, married, father of two babies under two and I am looking for a way to ensure a solid future for my family through real estate. I have a private practice as a Certified Life Coach and am also a case manager at a substance abuse facility.

A couple of friends and I just started getting into wholesaling recently. The reason there are three of us is to keep the momentum going, remain accountable to each other and not let fear or discouragement get in the way. We've posted ads on CL for buyers and are building our 'Buyer's List'. We just took delivery of our first bandits signs and have started planting them locally and have already gotten a few responses in the first couple of days.

As we are very new to this, I would appreciate any feedback or insight into the best way to get started/continue and would love to hear how some of you got started in wholesaling (or real estate in general). We are under no illusion that this a get rich quick deal and are really interested in learning from the ground up.

At this point, I guess it would be helpful to learn where to find local 'investor friendly' allies like a title company, attorney and RE agent. If any of you fit that description or know who I can contact, please let me know.

I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Best Regards,

Michael L
