Ohhhhh, thanks Steve. I figured out the whole follow/colleague thing, just didn't know how to PM. Now I know.

Hey David,

I think I just added a note to your profile. If that's how sending messages work lol.

Thanks Harry,

My head is already starting to hurt just thinking about all the info I'm about to cram in there :-). I can't wait to see what I'll be talking about after a couple of months on this site.

Best of luck to you too!

It is important to understand your market. You want to know what is a good deal and what is not. If I told you that I was selling a property for 25K you really have no context or premise to say this was a good deal or even a bad deal.

It is important to understand where the property is located, what other similar properties nearby have sold for in the recent past, what they are being marketed for now, and verify what type of sale it is.

It sounds like you just said alot :eyes:. But I'm sure once I knew what I was doing and where to look, with some time I could do all this...

Thanks Charles

Thanks Greg,
I was thinking about just lurking around for a while, but If my new goal is to go for it, then I guess I better start with taking little actions too!!!

Oh, I meant to mention early today I purchased:

"Investing in Real Estate With Lease Options and "Subject-To" Deals : Powerful Strategies for Getting More When You Sell, and Paying Less When You Buy"
Wendy Patton

"Investing in Real Estate"
Gary W. Eldred

"How to Make Money With Real Estate Options: Low-Cost, Low-Risk, High-Profit Strategies for Controlling Undervalued Property....Without the Burdens of Ownership!"
Thomas Lucier

Hope i made some good purchases, gotta love amazon.

Thanks Diane,
Best of luck to you too!!

Thanks, posted here before I saw that you commented. Did you mean your website that you use to get sellers? I'm looking at the general questions you ask sellers. I actually took notes for similar questions earlier today.

This guy James Ortiz from Houston has ACTUAL free videos talking about how he does wholesaling. The last video I watched was "how to negotiate with the seller". The next one is "how to estimate repairs."

Maybe I'll stay up all night like a crazy woman and finish watching the other 7 videos. Then come back here to fill in any gaps.....

So something just caught my attention about 30 mins ago. My roommate just told me that her boyfriend has a realtor that just helped him buy a property. I think an investment property. She said the seller was actually trying to get rid of another property.

I'm no where near buying and holding stage so I kinda didn't really give any thought to her comment, but after being super addicted to blogs and articles and forums maybe I should be doing something with this new info. I literally discovered what wholesaling was 3 days ago but they say the best way to learn is to do.

What should I do? I feel like I should something..... Maybe start looking up contracts, finding buyers :eyes:

Hi Randy,
I just moved from Westchase to the Northwest area around 290 & the beltway.
