The government in Texas frowns on wholesaling. You may want to get a license. Then go knock on 200 doors a week until you get a deal. Pick a neighborhood with 70% owners and 30% renters with home values at 80% of the counties jumbo loan max. If your not buying 500 business cards every month your doing something wrong. Sell BPO’s to Hard Money lenders for $20 to get their ear. Sell investors BPO’s to investors for nothing so you can get on their buyers list and learn how to reverse engineer their deals. Sell your assistant seat for $100 a month to an investor who needs it. Hustle. Hustle hard. Then hustle again.

Thank you for the response. We only work one property at a time so we’re not looking for blanket loo and and any private money we receive is always secured on a property.

I’m a wholesaler or I rent out pretty homes using rent to own strategies. I use Office Depot because I get a redunculous (spelled correctly) discount for printing out all types of marketing. I use Wal-Mart for special envelopes. I use the $1 store for envelopes too. Starbucks for my contract signings and gift cards and caffeine. All Apple products. Can I shout cozy.co too. Just awesome. Replaced the U.S. post office box for my company. I go to Home De Pot and Blowe’s for putting out flyers and my son likes making things with PVC pipe for fun. A Rehabber in Johnstowne, PA I know drives to the Baltimore Habitat because it is also redunculous. He’ll have three to four projects he needs to work and drive a moving truck he owns to buy supplies for that month. My quick virtual services list: CallRail (and the app) Expensify ( and the app) Pipedrive ( and the app) Upwork ($1.11 per hour workers) HostGator (best customer service) PhonePower (Most bang for my buck) Cozy.co (10 out of 10) Meetup (Ca$$$h buyers) G Suite (Gmail plus everything)

@Sean Price I live in Ashburn. Real estate investors in Ashburn are usually called developers. They are building so many homes it's crazy. We love Ashburn and we do hate to drive to DC from Ashburn. You can stay busy 'aligning backs' in Loudoun county and not just in Arlington.  The growth in this area is phenomenal.

If no money is less than $100 then ...maybe. If you knock on doors you can get tons of leads for real estate agents and investors. An average bird dog fee is $500 which is not bad for knocking on 200 doors. Put the $500 into bandit signs and flyers and hit the good areas up with your marketing. Now you can make $3000 and higher with the right deal. The real skill will be figuring out what contracts to use for each scenario. Look for a mentor that will help you out with this.
