Most of the information you're looking for is already in Youtube for free, in addition to legitimate forums such as biggerpockets. Look at Facebook Groups related to Wholesaling, some of them have many members who are very active and can quickly answer any questions related to contracts, ARV calculation, etc..

My advise would be to focus on specific criteria's, absentee owners are a good place for conversion, and this changes very frequently. In my Market (Harris county), there's about 140 absentee owners every 7 days and up to 1k in a given month. Depending on where you get your list, you may be the first one that reaches out to these individuals. Follow ups are really important too! Keep these lists and reach out again (5-6 months).

Propstream is a good and inexpensive way to get started, specially their MLS comparison so you can quickly learn to estimate ARV in comparison to recent properties that have sold within the last 6month-1year. They have a 7-day free trial as well, so take advantage of it (But don't use their skip tracing service as it's low tier quality data).

I run a data company based out of TX, and pull this information on a daily basis. Let me know if you need any advise, or assistance!

@Jakea Jacobs Hi there! I'm in northern VA. Do you happen to know any wholesalers in the area?

Have not heard anything good come from this course. Try and steer away from these "guru" courses. Real estate investing is a long game and takes years of experience to understand. Courses like these lead you to believe you can become an expert overnight.
