Wholesaling for New Investors
Hey everyone! I’m William a Data Analyst from Charlotte/Concord, NC and I’m starting my real estate journey into Wholesaling.
For individuals who have been in the industry for a while & those who are fairly new , how did you get your 1st property under contract?

Hey William, Welcome to BP and the world of Real Estate Investing!
If you're looking for a good local meet up there is a great REIA meet up in Matthews, NC I attend weekly and would highly recommend. It's located at Jonathan's on Tuesday mornings 8am - 10630 Independence Pointe Pkwy, Matthews, NC 28105.
A lot of investors, including wholesalers, at that meeting to network with and learn from.
I would also recommend educating yourself through books. I prefer audio books as I can listen to them at the gym, while I'm commuting, etc. There are many books available on the top of wholesaling. Here's a few for example.
The Ultimate Guide to Wholesaling Real Estate
The Beginner's Guide to Wholesaling Real Estate
Bigger pockets also has a book on the Subject How to Wholesale Real Estate
Good Luck!
