Whats going on ya'll! I just want to formerly introduce myself on here. My name is Ed, I'm a chef looking to transition out of the industry and I've been following BP for about a year now and itching to jump into real estate. As many of you already know I think it's the best way for me to build wealth for my family. My hope is to get into the MTR industry when I've built up enough capital through wholesaling or simply working my W2. I'm also looking to get started in the Douglasville, GA area as well as Grand Rapids, MI (my home town). Until then, Ive been to meetups in the ATL area trying to surround myself with other investors with hopes of gaining connections and wanting to add value by helping others get properties. I'd love to connect with some of you guys on here if your investing in my areas. Im all ears and open to other ways to get started as well. Thank you

Quote from @Joseph Crunkilton:

@Account Closed mentioned, wholesaling is one of the most difficult strategies in RE. You need to convince homeowners to offload their property for under market value so you can make a fee. An actual investor is going to always be able to pay more than you're "offering". 

It takes hours and hours of work or lots of capital for extensive marketing. People are successful in it but laws are getting stricter. There are much easier strategies to get your foot in the door. 

 What are some easier strategies that you'd suggest for a person just starting out like myself? I just started attending meet ups in my area (ATL) and am having a hard time finding where I can help investors/ myself
