What do you know about wholesaling smarty pants???

[Gregory Jay]

Hello everyone, 

I am interested in wholesaling at this moment and want to learn as much as possible. There's tons of information out there and I would like to take in as much knowledge as people are willing to share so I can be a "smarty pants" in the real estate game. I want the good, the bad, and the ugly with the hopes of being successful. Please share your experiences, and/or your dos, don'ts, and opinions.

I believe there are many people like myself that want to begin and may have enough information necessary but are holding on to the safety bar instead of just letting go and jumping in. 

I really don't know what questions to ask but I'll start with... 

What do I need to do to make my first deal happen?

What should I watch out for? 

What was your experience on your first deal?

In what market did you begin?

Is no money/no credit realistic?

Thank you in advance for your support and knowledge.

I'm a MOTIVATED REI with no investments in my portfolio! Help!?
