Thanks, Paul. I was considering what Brandon Turner calls "house hacking" and starting my rental portfolio with a duplex. That's also because I watch too much Income Property, lol. Nice, I'm learning some REI lingo. Today was a good day.

Wow, just adding negativity to his brand. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes.

@Joseph Ball What is this 3/2 you speak of? I'm a newbie investor interested in starting with wholesaling to build capital, but I really just want to do something and get my first deal done so that I can have a bit of experience under me.

I am a pretty new to real estate investing, but was first interested back in 2008. I got to a point last year where I decided to stop "waiting for the perfect opportunity" and jumped right into it. I've mostly just been educating myself through some books, articles and podcasts but I am now ready to complete my first deal.

I want to start wholesaling to build capital for rentals and fix and flips down the road (along with some other ventures), but I would like to get a mentor in my area that can guide me through my very first deal. I'm a very bright guy and an extremely very quick learner and problem solver. I get the gist of wholesaling, but I want to learn to master it so that I can be the best investor I can be.

Welcome, @Desmond Guy. I'm a newbie wholesaler in Baltimore as well, and I agree with what Ned said. In addition, I would also find a few podcast episodes specifically about wholesaling. BP has many, as well as my new favorite podcast: Escaping the REI Newbie Zone. 

The one thing I would say you'll need as a wholesaler is to develop your business brand and get started with your marketing. Start drafting ideas and methods that you think you'll need to successfully market your business.
