@Daray Olaleye true just wanted to get several opinions. Thank you.

As a New Wholesaler, I am trying to figure out the best ways to conduct my time and focus on my strengths and rather outsource my weaknesses. I'm good at administrative skills, research, finding the buyer, marketing even though i haven't executed on the marketing yet) Weaknesses include negotiating, probably building rapport with the seller (I'm an introvert, shy, etc) although I have been practicing this is just something I'm not really good at. Anyhow my question is at such an early stage should I seek out someone to do this part of the job for me (Acquisitions manager, assistant etc.)? I'm not sure if i should be trying to outsource by business so early in the game but I believe that this would be the best way for my business to thrive and I can focus on just being a business owner and get into BOSS mode. How long did it take for you to outsource your wholesaling business? Of course I will make sure that I know all the ends and outs to every process before I began to try to have someone else do it so i can make sure their doing it correctly but that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to be good at it myself. I really am more of a BOSS and although I love the idea of DIY, my main focus is having my own successful business and I've been stuck on the idea of getting a business partner that can execute the deal cause I may not be as successful. Any suggestions? In the coming months I will be focusing on getting this part of the process down packed myself and my plan is to just keep my head and not do any outsourcing until I make my first deal 100% by myself.

@Account Closed thanks. Yeah I feel I got ahead of myself so I'm actually working my way backwards and building my buyers lists. Also I could tell the person i was speaking with wasn't really motivated to sell the home (got the property off Zillow) and I wasn't really interested either just wanted to test the waters to get over my fear of speaking to strangers but then she started asking those questions that I didn't have the answer to which made me think twice like "Should I have this information?" So thanks for your advice and I'll look into getting my own business name real soon.  

@Jackson Pontsler yes! Thanks to both of you for your help! 

So the ONLY properties I’m going after are the ones that are troublesome? Correct?

I’m not a buyer. The tiltle clearly says wholesaler and I’m 100% aware that it is fraud to indicate that you are going to buy someone’s house when that is not the intention. My intention is to get the deal and then present that deal to a cash buyer and assign them my contract. My question is what is the best way to present that to a seller? 

As a new wholesaler what’s a good standard introduction that I can give that won’t make me sound like I’m new and idk what I’m doing? When asked what I do do I just come out and say I’m the middle man? Marketer? What’s a proper term so I don’t sound like NEW. When asked if I work for a company or what company what do I say? If asked how many properties I have what do I say? 

So I just did my first talk with a seller and I was so lost! What do I say when asked what company I work for? (I don’t have a company) Do I lie about how many years I’ve been doing this or do I just say I’m new? When asked how many properties I have do I say none?? By answering these questions honestly it all makes me sound like a newbie and of course no one wants to sell their property to a newbie who doesn’t know what they’re doing. I want to sound like I’m used to this even if I’m not. Advice please!!!
