 Hi Ethan! 20K is more than enough to get started! I cannot guarantee when or how soon you will close a deal. That all depends on how much time and effort you are willing to dedicate on a daily basis. If you are willing to be fully committed you will see results sooner rather than later. I can recommend a GREAT book that outlines all the steps to follow to get you to your first deal. Its literally the blueprint to making your first $15,000 wholesale fee. I would be more than happy to share it with you. Send me a PM. More than happy to help you! Ive been wholesaling for almost 8 years and flipping for almost 4. If you have any questions, Im happy to answer them for you! We need more young people investing in real estate. My mom made me get my real estate license when I was 18 but I went into corporate America after college and didnt pursue real estate until much later. If I had stayed with it I would be retired and living on a private island right now. So if i can help get you there sooner I will! 

Hi Ade, I'm based in California.  Would be great to connect if you are open to it.

I know a few in Atlanta. Shoot me a DM

I've updated my list with new wholesalers,  willing to share it if someone needs it.

@Ade Afon yes I still do.

@Brandi Vigil  the first thing you need to find is a Brokerage that is willing to let you wholesale as a realtor.  They have a problem because they don't feel comfortable with the transaction (no safeguards) and they can't often monetize it.

I was lucky to find one here in California.  I started by hiring a person to be the face of my wholesaling team last September.  Since then we/he has put 35 properties under contract to date.  I pay him around $5-10K per deal and pay for all the tools and advertising that he needs. (Facebook, Google Ads, Calling software, etc.)  Yes it can get expensive, but I make around $50-$80k per deal after I flip them.  

Since then we have about 15 other "newbies" working/volunteering for us learning the business.  Start reaching out to young kids wanting to learn the wholesaling business in your area on BiggerPockets.  The group is getting noticed on social media and other platforms.  They put out content almost daily now and are getting a good return on our investment.

I must admit that I just started the ball rolling and the Wholesaler I hired (no job due to Covid) has really exceeded my expectations. I don't' do the calling but look at most of the properties with him and I do provide him with all the ARV's. He is actually getting to the point where he can do the ARV's on his own.

Good Investing...
