Starting out in Spokane, WA wholesaling: How to find Investors

[Breanne Glemaker]

Hi Everyone!  This is my first post on BP!

My husband and I are new to real estate investing, and aren't sure how to go about finding investors that want wholesale deals.  I am a real estate agent and my husband is a contractor, so together we have no problem figuring out our numbers, and making sure it is a win win deal for everyone involved. 

So, how do you find investors when you don't have any of those connections to start out with?  Also, as far as putting a house under contract, can a licensed real estate agent in WA state use their brokerages' purchase and sales agreement forms, or do I have to have an attorney create one for me?  I am newly licensed, and am not entirely sure what the stipulations are in WA state.

Thank you!

How I found most of my investors is by networking, networking, and networking. Attend your local REIA meetings, stay involved here on BP, and just put yourself where RE investors will be. Also, as you start to get properties under contract and market them, investors will find you. Just know that when you have good deals you really don't have to look for investors, all you have to do is let investors know that you have deals through your marketing and they will contact you. This is a great place to start though. As you get to know the BP community and start to get your name out there, then it won't be hard to get rid of good deals. I wish you and your husband much success on your investing journey, and I look forward to seeing you around the site. Just remember, if you ever have any questions just put them here on the forums and watch how helpful complete strangers will be. Always be weary however for those with other agendas, but for the most part there are some good, wholesome, and very knowledgeable people here on the site that don't mind helping you-free of charge at that. Wish you all the best.
