Hi everyone! My name is Nick, and I’m from Brooklyn, NY. Long-time lurker, first-time poster 😁

It has been a pleasure just navigating through the treasure trove of real-world experience and perspective on this site. In particular, I’ve done a fair bit of reading on wholesaling and flipping. I have embraced the reality that it pays to have the mindset of a flipper in order to effectively wholesale, which is what I want to do, as an initial foray into investing. I just figure it could be a good way for me to get into the game and educate myself. Making the big bucks isn’t my focus right now. I’m willing to hustle if it means building a good reputation and providing value along the way for EVERYONE involved in a deal.

What do I want to do? Well, I would love to network with other folks who are investing in the NYC area, or any areas that are within reasonable proximity. My goal is to eventually transition to a remote approach, in hopes of exploring other markets in the country, but I’m not getting ahead of myself 😂

Thanks for reading!

@Nick P. Hello Nick! I’m a newbie as well looking to invest and wholesale in the tri-state area. I’m mostly familiar with Pennsylvania and New Jersey area. Honestly, to build capital for my investment plan. I am having difficulty in identifying the ethics in wholesaling as well as understanding the laws around it. What I’d like to know, from maybe some experienced wholesalers as well, is how can you identify a buyer, if you don’t have a license to market/sell a property? How do you become the middle person in the transaction?
