New to Starting Wholesaling
Hi, my name is Ashley and I am 25 years old. I’m very eager to start wholesaling in real estate. I’ve searched the web and intended to everyone’s success stories and even invested money into trying to understand the wholesaling process. Every less has left me stomped. My biggest concern would be closing the deal, I have all of my resources to find properties and contact the property owners but I become lost at the closing deal.
I drive for dollars as well as utilize dealmachine.com and other websites and tools that have been said to be useful for beginning and starting wholesaling.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Dudette.. NEVER do this:
"that have been said to be useful"
Look. Everyone does DMM... its crap
Every beginner investor does, D4D, Door knocking, Bandit signs. CRAP.
Think about it. How many investors fail? Most. How many investors do DMM, D4D, Bandit signs, cold calling.. MOST.
These strategies simply suck! Why do you want to base your success on methods where the odds are severely against you? Seriously don't even do it.
Keep this in mind.
Nike. They have money right? They can do what ever they want when it comes to marketing.
Do a search for Nike online.

They do PPC. They do Facebook ads.
If D4D was better, Nike would be all over it. They could pay 3000 people to start coldcalling or D4D.
Companies like Nike, spend millions of dollars on marketing research. They know what they are doing and if they don't use methods like D4D and the like, well it is a good indication those methods do not work (well).
I get what you are thinking. Well I don't have money to do PPC. Well I rather save up the money and do a solid campaign and get a deal GUARANTEED, than spending 500 a month for 5 months without getting anywhere.
Remember every month you do not make a deal, you lost money, rent, gas, mortgage, food, insurance, crab legs...
I have been here long enough to see EVERYONE making the SAME mistake. And the weirdest thing of all... PEOPLE DO NOT LEARN.
For some reason they think they are the exception. For some reason they think they are special and for them it WILL work.
Answer this question for yourself.
How Do You Expect To Become A Successful Real Estate Investor When You Are Doing The Exact Same Thing That 97% Of Investors That Fail Are Doing?
Listen do a google search for "Forced Traffic & Conversion". And check out that plan. People have purchased a house to start to flip it in about 60 days from starting as a newbie following that system.
Look I know you think I am just some dude talking a good talk and I know everyone claims they know better, that their system works better.
Well.. let anyone that tells you their system works best match these results:

All these leads are organic leads, and thus are high equity highly motivated free seller leads.
It is up to you, but this coming from someone that started without money, and developed my own system, through logic experiment, testing and tweaking, we really DID crack the lead generation code. Our results are second to NONE!
And it is free. You can do this yourself, No need to pay anyone.It will take a significant effort, drive and patience to set it all up, but do you honestly think I regret doing it?
Hell I can have crablegs for breakfast now!
Be smart. Do NOT follow the masses. NEVER EVER decide on doing something because:
"that have been said to be useful"
People get friggin 3 leads a month and they think those are amazing results. Yeah OK.
Get a website, set it up, work on credibility, work on SEO, and keep at it. Success is up for grabs. You know why?
Because just like you are probably thinking "OMG monkey boy I am NOT going to dabble in SEO are you insane?". Well so is EVERYONE ELSE! That was my MAIN reason that made me do it. No one does it no one wants to do it. And now I dominate my market!

Well.. hope you make the right decision. Good luck!
BTW, closing the deal is easy. Really easy. After the contracts are signed, submit it all to your lawyer and they will do the rest.
