I want to start wholesaling and I need advice

Sheldon James
Posted

Whats up BP nation, my name is Sheldon James, I'm a junior in college, I live in Hattiesburg Mississippi, and Im ready to start investing in real estate. I have been learning about real estate investing for about 2 years now. I have listened to hundreds of BiggerPockets RealEstate podcasts, read tons of articles on BP, and watched lots of youtube videos about real estate from BP and others. I have been especially fascinated with wholesaling. I have been wanting to get into it for some time now but my analysis paralysis has held me back as I'm sure some of you have experienced. However lately I have come across several success stories of people killing it doing real estate wholesaling who are even younger than me and it has inspired me to dive in right now even though I'm young, and don't have everything figured out. I want to wholesale in my hometown of Hattiesburg MS. I know a lot about wholesaling from my research but I just need some direction. How should I start? Should I go to Home Depot and grab a bunch of bandit signs? Buy a direct mailing list and start sending out letters? Buy a cold calling list and start calling? or should I do all of the above? I have other more detailed questions about contracts too that are hard to find answers for online. Any help/advice y'all can give would be much appreciated and help me out a lot.
