Hi everyone one. I am looking to start my career in Real Estate investing, the reason I am starting with Wholesaling is because my lack of capital. What first steps do I take to get potential leads? I know I can drive for dollars, put up bandit signs and etc. But what else can I do? If I go to my city, which lists can I ask for? I’m located in Victorville CA. Anything and everything will be of great help!

@Alex Gallardo Browse the mls (by mls I mean Redfin), throughout the day to keep up with what’s on the market and pricing. When a deal pops up act quick. We made over $500k on a newly listed property and got it because we were lightning fast. Know your market so you can act quickly. Talk to agents to get your pitch down. Cold call a lot. Should have a deal in a few months at most that makes sense if you do this with the right approach, if you don’t you need to change what your doing because your doing it wrong. We hired someone to find us deals he listened to what we told him to do and he’s found us a deal a month. He had zero real estate experience when he started.
