Hi, my name is Jonathan Vese and I'm new to wholesaling and really want to get into it. I'm looking to learn the ropes with someone who is willing to teach me and also would love to find a partner in this business. Anyone out there who can help me? Please write me a private message. Prefer if you are in Vancouver or Portland area. Thanks

@Robert Laird is a marketing MACHINE in Vancouver.  I'm pretty sure he has employees but am not sure whether he is hiring right now.  In our area, a partnership like this, where you essentially work for someone who knows what they are doing, is probably your best bet.  There are a lot of wholesalers and flippers already in the Portland metro, and it would be counter-productive to reinvent the wheel while pushing it up a hill at the same time.

"Just finding motivated sellers" is 98% of REI. When you get the secret formula, you can start your own training program and charge people thousands of dollars to pick your brain.

If you want someone to let you "shadow" them for free in your same geographical market, good luck?  I can't imagine why anyone would train someone to compete with them.  But if you are willing to pay for education, or to educate yourself, or to provide value to someone by being a bird dog or as an employee etc., you will probably get much farther much faster.  

You might want to start here or here or here.
