Global Insurance is close by and has always given me great service and great prices.

Thanks for your input. If it is a foreclosure with no equity, it becomes a short sale. How is a short sale different from a normal wholesale deal? What are the down sides of doing a short as a wholesaler?
It's different in that you have to wait for the bank to agree with the sale of the house. The approval process typically takes 3 - 6 months to complete. Downsides are that it takes longer than a regular deal. It's also not guaranteed you'll get the price you want.

What have you done with those leads so far? Have you spoken to the owners?

Hi Maria.
I did the same thing ( Ithink we all do), go out and get a real estate license in order to start investing. I recommend going to your local established REIAs that are accredited by the National REIA as they are held to higher standards than other REIAs.
Miami Lakes & Hialeah are where I grew up and I always love finding deals there. Glad to hear you're getting started as there are plenty of deals.
I went to the Broward REIA in 2012 and learned how to actually invest. It was an amazing experience and I continue to learn from colleagues today.
I also recommend Charles Rutenberg Realty. They are professional and give you 100% commission with only a $399 transaction fee. You have to know your contracts, addendums, etc. if you sign up.
If you decide to go to one of the REIAs, send me a message and maybe I can introduce you to some good people. The next meetings are this week. Broward is on Wednesday and Miami-Dade is on Thursday.
Good luck out there!
