@Stephen Morales Hello, thank you for your advice 

@Michael Dumler thank you for your advice. Since I already have a very busy schedule I'll look at saving  enough money so I can get a rental property. I've done quite a bit of research in wholesaling and it's a lot of work. So I'll look into another area that's more fitting. 

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner trying to learn the ins and outs of wholesaling real estate. I’ve been watching Jerry Norton’s videos, listening to podcasts, and attended a webinar to better understand the process. From what I’ve gathered, wholesaling involves finding distressed properties (often on Zillow or Redfin), reaching out to sellers or their agents, negotiating a contract, and then assigning that contract to a cash buyer for a fee.

I’ve also heard that a big part of it is sending out a bunch of texts or making a lot of phone calls, talking with sellers, and waiting until someone finally says “yes” to your offer—then you potentially have a deal.

Before I take any action, I’m planning to talk with a couple of experienced people this week to make sure I fully understand what I’m getting into.

That said, I’d really appreciate honest feedback from those of you who’ve actually done deals:

• Is wholesaling a realistic and sustainable strategy today?

• What are some common pitfalls or legal risks new wholesalers should be aware of?

• For someone working full-time and in school, what’s the best way to start ethically and effectively?

• What are some things you wish you knew before your first deal?

I’m here to learn, not pitch anything—just trying to understand what’s real vs what’s just YouTube hype. Any insight or experience you’re willing to share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jardin

Hi Wale,

Thank you for your insights and advice! I really appreciate it. I’ve been focusing on educating myself, networking, and reaching out to agents to find off-market and distressed properties. Right now, I’m exploring wholesaling as a way to generate capital, but my long-term goal is to acquire rental properties for passive income.

I’ve looked into seller financing, partnerships, and BRRRR as potential strategies, but I’d love to learn more about how to structure deals with no or extremely minimal upfront costs. Do you have any recommendations on resources or strategies that have worked for you?

Also, if you know any investor-friendly agents or cash buyers in the Atlanta area who might be open to partnering or networking with me, I’d love an introduction. I’m looking to grow my network and collaborate with experienced investors.

Thanks again for your time and guidance!

Best,

Hi Sadler,

Thanks for the encouragement! Right now, I’m reaching out to agents to get off-market distressed properties before they hit the market. I then send those deals to my buyers list for evaluation. I want to avoid taking on a lot of debt, so I’m trying to wholesale properties to generate capital before transitioning into long-term rentals.

When I say “limited capital,” I mean I’m working with savings and want to avoid leveraging too much debt at this stage. I’m definitely open to creative financing, but I want to start by wholesaling to build capital.

Do you know any experienced wholesalers or investors who would be open to connecting with me and possibly working on some deals? I’d love to build my network further.

Best,

Jardin

Hi David,

I really appreciate your insights! I want to minimize debt as much as possible, so I’m currently saving money while reaching out to real estate agents for off-market distressed properties before they go public. I’ve already connected with a few agents who are willing to send me their deals, which I then send to my buyers list for evaluation.

I’m still learning, and I like the idea of house hacking or creative financing options like seller financing or partnerships. Do you have any advice on the best way to structure deals with minimal upfront capital?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hey everyone,

I’m new to real estate investing and looking for guidance on the best way to get started. My long-term goal is to create passive income, own rental properties, and eventually transition into entrepreneurship.

So far, I’ve taken a few steps:

✅ Purchased an acre of land in New Mexico

✅ Invested in REITs and Fundrise

✅ Learning about wholesaling as an entry point into real estate

✅ Networking with experienced investors to get different perspectives

✅ Listening to podcasts like Wholesale Inc. by Brent Daniels and others

✅ Watching YouTube videos on different strategies

✅ Working a 9-to-5 job while figuring out the best investment strategy

My Challenge:

Since I have limited capital, I want to find a way to get started without a large upfront investment. I’m currently exploring wholesaling but also want to own rental properties in the future.

Looking for Advice On:

👉 What are some creative ways to get into rental properties with limited funds?

👉 Is wholesaling a good first step, or should I focus on another strategy?

👉 How can I balance investing with a full-time job?

👉 Are there any financing or partnerships strategies that could help me get started?

I have a call scheduled with Wholesale Inc. to explore my options, but I’d love to hear from investors who have been in my position.

What worked for you when you were just starting out?

Looking forward to learning from this community. Thanks in advance for any insights!

Best,

@Debveda Berry-Moore 

Hi Debveda,

Great question! I’m also new to the business, but I’m actively building my strategy by learning from experienced investors and shaping my own path. My approach is to reach out to real estate agents and businesses who send me distressed, off-market, and pre-listing properties. Instead of making tons of cold calls, I email agents directly and let them send me deals as they come in.

Once I receive those deals, I send them to my buyers list—investors who are actively looking for fix-and-flip or buy-and-hold opportunities. My goal is to connect motivated sellers with serious buyers while keeping the process as streamlined as possible.

I also talk to successful wholesalers and investors to get their insights and learn from their experiences while refining my own strategy. I’ve been learning a lot from the Wholesale Inc. podcast by Brent Daniels, which has helped shape my approach.

I’m figuring things out as I go, but I’m taking action and improving every day. Let me know if you’re looking for deals or already have buyers—I’d love to collaborate!

Best,

@Jared Smith 

Hi Jared,

Thanks for the welcome! Right now, I’m focused on being actively involved in real estate investing through wholesaling—specifically, finding deeply discounted distressed properties, getting them under contract, and assigning them to my network of end buyers.

I’ve been building relationships with agents and businesses that send me off-market and pre-foreclosure deals, which I then analyze and send to my buyers list. I want to scale this up and streamline the process further.

If you have any insights or recommendations for improving my strategy, I’d love to hear them!

Looking forward to connecting.

Best,

Jardin
