Wholesale 101. Networking

[Aryka Ortego]

Hi BP!

Introduction: My name is Aryka Ortego originally from north Louisiana, currently living in NYC where I work as a real estate agent. My brother, Landon, and I are diving headfirst into wholesaling. We are networking and learning all the tips and tricks to hopefully have a strong foundation to start from. 

Our markets where we drive for dollars/tax auctions: Easton PA, Jersey City NJ, Staten Island NY, Ruston LA, Monroe LA, Weston (Caney lake) LA, and Hattiesburg MS. 

We are currently trying to network with investors who are interested in buying in the markets listed above. 
** we would also love to know of any REI meetups going on in these areas!
If you can offer any specific advice that you wish you had known before getting into wholesaling or suggestions for a couple of new wholesalers it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @Aryka Ortego - good luck as you enter the world of wholesaling! I work with buyers that focus on investing in NYC mainly and can help with properties you find in staten island -- please note that my buyers only move on a deal if there's $100k+ upside potential to be made (NYC market is already pretty aggressive with its high prices). 

CC @Jean Tranquille that is also an active wholesaler I think you should connect with.

In terms of active meetups, there's not many that I've found through BP surprisingly - however if you go on EventBrite there's one main NYC meetup that happens across different boroughs quite often (once every 2 months or so) and attracts all types of parties (investors, lenders, speakers, etc.) 

Feel free to shoot me a DM, I'm an investor & agent in NYC (Exit Realty).
