Michael Quarles: The "As Is" Process of Podcasts 77 and 81

[Anne James]

Good Morning BiggerPockets Community,

Where would I find blog(s) explaining "wholetailing?" I want to understand the process from obtaining a list through closing escrow. After taking advantages of many BiggerPockets resources including reading the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to REI, I thought learning the skills of "wholesaling" was the best way for an inexperienced person such as myself to enter the RE Investing world. It seemed many of the components were needed for the other strategies. However, after listening to Michael Quarles on Podcasts 77 and 81 discussing the strategy of selling "as is" I have begun to consider this as another option.

As easygoing and fun as the interview was, I have several gaps in my understanding surrounding what steps I need to take in order to make this plan work. For example, what infrastructure do I need to set up since I work a full time job? Would Google Voice be useful as a “lead capture” system? Gaining a better understanding of some of the reasons someone would respond to a yellow letter or postcard vs. listing the property with a real estate agent would help me to see the duplication/turnkey built into the plan.

Thanks in advance for any assistance from the BiggerPockets community which is greatly appreciated.
