Wholesaling driving for dollars
I’m brand new and a lot to learn but I drove for dollars the other day and found a couple house I think are distressed houses... so do I just call and give an offer to those homes?

Great question!
Yes and no. Find the owner, establish a relationship and go for the ask. It has to be much more finessed than “your house looks uninhabitable, I’ll give you pennies on the dollar! It’s ok because I believe this is adding value”. It has to start with listening, really listening. Sure you might get a few just shooting straight from the hip, but you probably won’t get referrals or upfront honesty
