What Beginner Strategies? Wholesale? Subject to?

Christopher Wilchensky

I’ve read many articles, listened to many blogs, and read great books on the strategies of getting started and different models of investing.

If someone (myself) has a full time job, what is the best way to start part time, to build cashflow and learn RE investing? Many people say Wholesaling, some others are saying “Subject To” investing. Does anyone have any advice on how or where to start out? I’m in the Philadelphia area.

Also, considering getting licensed as a Part Time

Realtor as well....

thanks for your time

I'm in the same boat as you. I've done a lot educational listening, reading, watching and am ready to get some more properties. From what I've learned, I think good lead generation is key. Where are the deals? How can we get in front of them? I work full time as well and I just started the classes to become an agent, but even as an agent you want listings which means you need deals. Wholesale you need a lot of deals coming your way same with sub-to because a lot of those aren't going to pan out. Buy and hold or fix n flip you want below market deals. There are deals on the mls but competition is a lot larger. So in conclusion,  in my opinion I/we need to get good leads and get in front of those leads and help them with their problems.
