I agree with just getting your real estate license. I am in the midst of studying for mine. I also am learning a lot of the ins and outs of buying and selling and all the rules and regs of basic real estate. Plus you won't have to pay commision fees to your realtor.

Welcome Scotty! I am new to the BP website as well, but I have been listening to their podcasts. Do you have an iPhone? If so, download the App "Podcasts" and search for Bigger Pockets Podcasts. TONS of information on different strategies of real estate investing. There are a few shows on wholesaling, since you want to start there. There are guest speakers from the BP community and they share their stories and strategies of how they came about. You will find the shows very informing and entertaining! Good luck!

@Adam Hofmann Hey Adam, I see you're in Berkeley. My business partner and I search for homes in the Berkeley, Oakland Hills and SF area because there is a larger margin for flips. Our flip property that we are currently wrapping up is in the Oakland Hills. If you find a home to wholesale, let me know. Good luck with everything =)

Hello All! I'm thrilled to learn more and meet new people in the BP community! Seems like a stand up group we got here! I'm from the Bay Area in Northern California. My business partner/best friend @Chris Music and I started our Real Estate investing business last year and have done a successful wholesale deal and currently wrapping up our first successful flip. We are seeking more deals in the Bay Area to either flip or wholesale. Our ultimate goal is to build enough capital to own rentals, but for now, flipping is a lot of fun. I studied Interior Design in college and decided to start a Home Staging business back in 2003, so you can imagine how much fun I had designing our flip and staging it to put on the market. In addition to investing and Home Staging, I am in the midst of studying for my Real Estate license so I can find our own deals and learn more about the core of buying and selling and all the rules and regulation. I want to learn and grow as much as I can in this industry.

Out of the 42 BP podcasts, I've listened to about 20 and I intend to listen to them all. @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner are hilarious and really do a great job hosting together! I appreciate all the info from each one of the guest speakers. I look forward to gaining a ton of knowledge from you all and hopefully meet with some investors in my area. If anyone needs a stager in the Bay Area, feel free to leave me a message =)
