Wholesaling Property & Questions

Veronica Knight

Posted

I'm very new to wholesaling and it's been very hard to find good deals and distressed properties. Does anyone have any advice on where to look because I already looked on Zillow, FSBO, and Craigslist?

Also are there any real estate agents willing to work with a wholesaler from Houston, TX?

@Veronica Knight I feel your anxiety. You want to start doing deals now but I can tell you from experience...take your time and develop your marketing strategy first. If you try to do 7 different types of marketing you will be average at best at a couple of them. In a market like Houston you will fail. Pick one marketing tactic and become the authority in that method.

Your next question - how do I become an authority in marketing strategy X in Houston?

Easy answer - figure out your Why. Thats it. If your why (why you are doing this biz) is strong and deep enough, you will figure out the How.

You have to mentally be All In or it will be tough to succeed. Even with a strong why and All In mentality, wholesaling and RE in general are tough. If this post hasn’t scared you off yet then you might have what it takes to achieve your dreams through Real Estate Investing.

Good luck and if your still pursuing this after you figure some things out...Im here to answer questions.
