Wholesaling Tips for Starting Out
I am curious how people go about getting their first contract and how people go about estimating their rehab costs. I'm new to wholesaling and wanted to get a perspective on these two aspects. My biggest hurdle with feeling confident about obtaining my first contract or being able to market that contract to potential buyers is the lack of experience when it comes to estimating rehab costs. Any advice or resources for beginners? I've read a couple formulas within Jamil's "How to Wholesale Real Estate" book, but fix and flip buyers typically would prefer an estimate of costs before looking at a contract and i would like to be able to give them that to add value to potential offers.
Any tips/resources are welcome as I have just started my real estate journey.
