New to Wholesaling: Seeking Connections and Quality Resources to Guide Me

Member since 2023 · 6 posts · 5 votes

Hey BiggerPockets community!

I'm excited to be joining the world of real estate wholesaling, but as a newcomer, I'm realizing that there's a wealth of information out there and I'm trying to find the best resources to guide me on this journey. If you're an experienced wholesaler or someone who's been through this learning process, I could really use your advice and connections!

My goal is to build a solid foundation in wholesaling, understanding the ins and outs of finding great deals, negotiating effectively, and creating a network that will set me up for long-term success. While I'm eager to dive in, I also want to make sure I'm learning from the right sources to avoid any misinformation or pitfalls that can come with starting something new.

If you have any recommendations for books, online courses, podcasts, or even individuals who have a proven track record in wholesaling, please share them with me. I value firsthand experiences and insights, and your guidance could make a significant impact on my learning curve.

Additionally, I'd love to connect with fellow newbies like me who are just starting out on their wholesaling journey. If you're in the same boat or if you've successfully navigated these initial stages, I'm open to forming connections, sharing insights, and supporting each other along the way.

    Teaming up with someone who is experienced is usually what is best.  You really want to try to avoid messing up a seller's life by making an amateur mistake, plus there is always lawsuit potential any time you enter a contract.

    I'm really excited to connect with you and learn more about your experience in this business.

    I'm sure you know that real estate wholesaling can be tricky, especially for beginners. There's a lot to learn, and it can be easy to make mistakes.

    That's why I'm reaching out to you. I'm looking for someone to share insights and support through this experience.

    I'm eager to hear what you've learned so far and the path you decide to take moving forward. I'm also open to collaborating on deals and supporting each other through the learning process.

    If you're interested in working together, please let me know.

    @Miseker Wingate and@London Hanson There is a ongoing Friday lunch @ noon at Spirits West where investors, wholesalers, and anyone in real estate meets. It's a good place to start along with some of the local REI meetups.

    @David Hathaway I'm mainly focusing on virtual for right now (even though I would prefer in person). I don't have the best means for transportation at the moment to attend physical meets. I would definitely love to network and connect with motivated individuals who have experience in real estate wholesaling/investing. I understand virtual makes things more difficult as well which is why I try to be creative and innovative as much as I can until I get to the point where I can travel to meets, network, and learn from others in person.

     Thanks so much for this. I have been gone on vacation and wasn't able to make it. But, please let me know for other opportunities. Would love to connect with more people!

    Looking at meetup.com and just search REI meetup on google and you should be able to find a couple. This one below is pretty good not sure if they have virtual though.
    https://www.meetup.com/baltimore-reia-meetup/ 
    And here is one where they have a virtual meetup
    https://www.eventbrite.com/e/baltimore-learn-how-real-estate...
    The is a local investor Brentin Hess that has virtual meet ups that I haven't been to personally but he has great guests and is well known

    Hope that's a good starting place
