Wholesaling: Starting Out

Hello everybody,

I’ve done all the reading and practice analyzing deals and I am finally comfortable to start taking action. Because I don’t have any money to throw at marketing yet, my plan is to drive for dollars and write all personal letters to distressed properties that I see in my specific market. I feel like personal letters are the most impactful, yet I fear that homeowners will be offended by me reaching out asking them to buy their house? Has anyone felt this way before?

I remember when I started out, wholesaling.

I had no money either. Boy have times changed.When I came to BP with my questions, people actually were happy to help me out.

Now everyone sets out to insult others or try to sound more like they know more than the other by stepping and pushing the other down.

You all should really take a look at yourselves. Pathetic!!

Dude, pay no attention to all these clowns.

I started with no money, and I wholesaled my way to success.

The mistake all you negative "smart people" are making is simply this.

Wholesaling  is NOT lying to people telling them "I will buy your house" when you have no cash to buy their house,

Get it through your ignorant skulls. FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!!

I FLAT out told my leads that I am NOT going to buy their house and that I was going to wholesale it. Spare me the BS whether it is legal or not. Cry me a friggin river!

I simply do not give a crap about your sand in your KooKoo about your wholesaler hate you got going on.

That is what I did. The sellers happily gave it a go! If you need to get a private money lender to back you up so you can make it "legal" just do what you need to do. I did it and I had no money of my own to buy anything. I was honest so the seller knew exactly what they were risking and it all turned out great

Now, I have plenty of success and I started with no money!

So go figure!
