I've read a few books and bought them for a fraction of the price through amazon.com, you reccomend ebay as a cheaper alternative?

"Real Estate Daytrading" seems pretty solid for internet based wholesaling.

Hey Matthew, Start up price for a wholesaling business varies. Most of your expenses will go into marketing and depending on what type of marketing your doing you can invest from $100-1,000 dollars.

Larry Goins has a new book "Getting started in real estate day trading" I got a copy at one of his weekend seminars. He is pretty comprehensive. With wholesaling, it seems like there are a lot of steps involved and a lot of groundwork necessary to insure success. Like cooking a four course dinner, each ingredient and meal is important. Sometimes it is advertised as easy as making a PBJ sandwich.

thanks for the tip robert. im going to look into it immediately. thanks again for the great info. Another quick question i have it what is a good startup price for your wholesaling business?

Another option is to look at websites of wholesalers and see the information that they provide under the FAQ sections. Often times these answers can shed some light on the various approaches that can be taken.

From what I understand, wholesaling has not become a main source of investing until the relatively recent past (5-10 years) and many books focus on purchasing properties as an investor, not professionally wholesaling as a viable investment option. I have yet to find a book with comprehensive information centered around wholesaling. Most books that I have read may mention "assigning contracts" over a few pages, but go into little detail on how to successfully do this. In my opinion, you have found the premier source of information on BP. This site is full of information and has a few noted authors that express their methods in the forums. Take advantage of what they say, its worth more than anything you can read in a generic book.

please i'd be extremely grateful if you could do that. thanks.

Im definitely interested in courses. I didnt know they were available though ebay at discounted prices. I'll be sure to take your advice. Thanks !!!!

I thought you're looking for a REI course with meat, not just a $10 book with basic information freely available on the web. Amazon does not sell courses, only hard- and softcover books. In this case, I do not know what book to suggest - none of the $10 books will give you enough information to get started.

[/b][b]I have read in various other forums andarticles that wholesaling is a great way to get started in RE investing for that it doesnt have as much risk as other areas. Also it allows you to build up capital for other investments. Can anyone reccommend a good wholesaling book?[b] :help:
