Finding buyers for wholesale deals

[Harrison Krause]

I’m 23 years old looking to make my first wholesale flip before I turn 24 in July. I’ve spent the last month listening to podcast after podcast researching information on wholesaling. The biggest problem I keep running into is how to find buyers or investors for deals. I’m scared to even start finding a property to flip because I have absolutely no clue how to find a buyer. Any advice for a youngin just getting started?

You'll learn more from failing than taking zero steps at all. Wholesaling has nothing to do with real estate and everything to do with sales and marketing. That's how you find both sellers and buyers - through marketing. Just like with any other business, how would you attract new customers/clients? This is what all if not most newbie wholesalers don't realize. But to answer your question finding buyers is the easiest part, especially if you actually have a good "deal" to sell. If you do then they would come to you. How to find them - here are a few examples: go to your local REI meetups and hand out business cards. Post on your social media accounts, go into other Facebook groups and post, bigger pockets, craigslist etc etc etc....Always be Marketing and Networking!
