Young and I want some advice

[Alex Zaragoza]

Hello all my name is Alex I live in a small town in South Carolina called Sumter, I aspire to do great things with my life. I’m only 18 and I’m learning as much as I can about wholesaling because I’m really young and have little to no money or credit. I’ve been watching videos on Max Maxwell and Mark Whitten trying to soak up as much as I can on everything they say, when I don’t understand something I watch it multiple times until I understand it. I plan to go out and actually use all this knowledge I acquired in a real deal but I fear most people wouldn’t take me seriously because I’m so young and they wouldn’t trust me enough to put their property under contract with me. How could I go about gaining enough trust from someone for them to allow me to put their home under contract. Any advice or feed back would help 😄

It isn't so much how young you look.  It's how you come across.  If an owner gets the impression that you are inexperienced and don't know what you're doing.  They probably will run and hide from you.  However, if you come across as confident.  That's a different story.  I understand that it can be a challenge to appear confident when you're not.  Just do the best you can.  If this deal doesn't happen.  The experience that you gain from it will help you on the next deal.  

Another route to take is to partner up with an experienced investor.
