Need Help getting started in wholesaling

Kevin Ciabatti

My name is kevin and I recently attended a seminar put on by the guys from A&E's "Flip This House". It was great and got me really excited and motivated but I could not afford there boot camp fee so I was left with researching on my own on how to get started wholesaling and finding deals and buyers and starting my own business. Although I have done lots of research myself and am starting to understand the process alittle bit I am still alilconfused too. My questions are these..
1. What do you think my very first step would be to getting started in wholesaling?
2.How do I locate cash buyers and getting my buyers list?
3. And my biggest question is How in the world do assign a contract or even obtain one from a seller? I have read many things on "once" i get the contract and where to go from therebut I have yet to find anything on how I go about getting a contract and then what I do from there with it to the seller and buyer.

Please your help would be more than appreciated. Thank you.
kevin

Kevin, all those questions have been answered on this forum numerous times.

To be successful at wholesaling you need to find a niche and way to consistently buy deals under market value. Some people mail free and clear landlords, some people mail out of state owners, some people have relationship with banks/RE Agents. That is what I would study and experiment with.

After you find great deals, finding buyers and getting the contract right is the easy part.
