Christopher, good afternoon. Jeremy is right, that's a really good starting point. Leverage of your friends to get the downpayment to buy the house and give them a return on your cash flow for pitching in. Or you can join the USAF and get a VA loan no money down haha like I did. Seriously, whatever you do, get a mentor.

Take care and enjoy the journey!

Hi Teresa! Good question! If I were you, I would do zillow.com and filter your sold properties no more than a year out. Realtor.com is also a really good public source. If you want to go real bold, even though it sounds like you dont have an agent, I would try to make friends with a realtor and then ask him or her if they could do you a favor by letting you become their "assistant." As long as the broker is cool with that, you will most likely have legal access to the mls to run your comps.

Hope that helps!

Jake, morning brother! Firstly, thank you for your commitment in wearing the uniform! And congrats on your transition! Direct mail is what works best for me to get motivated leads! Check out https://www.listsource.com/homepage/index.htm to build a mailing list of multifamily leads. Its cheap and well worth it. Obviously, this route takes time and if you are pressed for a multi you may want to network with realtors. I live in Dover DE and craigslist is loaded with multis for sale! 

Hope this helps and keep up the good work networking here on BP! 

Enjoy the ride.

Austin.

Joseph, I agree with John. I know a few individuals in Delaware where I live who are doing really well cashflowing from their single family residences. They're also buying a bunch of multifamilies as well. I know another guy who is developing a few apartment buildings. I think that multifamily investment strategy is a great way to get your money to work hard for you. 600k is certainly a lot of capital to start, so make sure you build your network of advisors and hit your local investment club.

Joao, morning. I think you've taken the right step in building your real estate network. Read, read, read and read some more, but most importantly, DO and correct your mistakes along the way. I'm sure you'll do incredibly well man! Stay strong! Sincerely, Austin. www.rojayselecthomes.com

Brother congrats on your decision! I agree that wholesaling does take some solid capital to make it work. Like anything else...there is always a price. I was one of those guys who thought wholesaling was easy and required no money down. What a waste of mental energy to think that.
