I'm in eastern NC and found a deal for a duplex, 35k, the seller says it's about a 30k rehab job and the ARV is about 115k. The thing is while I do agree, I need help in finding someone to purchase the contract from me because I am trying to wholesale. I also, in this being my first deal, need to know what paper work and other things I do need. Can anyone spare some advice?

Hi, I’m currently deployed right now and wanted to know if anyone knows any way for me to try and jump into this business while deployed. Also, if anyone could assist? Thank you

@Stuart Grazier I’d love to talk to you more in depth on ways to do this

So I saw someone asking a question about wholesaling and another person shot them down and said if they’re not a broker they’re basically the lowest of lows in real estate investing. It was also said that if a wholesaler brought a deal to that “buyer” they’d cut out the middle man (wholesaler) and go straight to seller with all the information and just buy it straight from the source.

My question is, why? Why was/is it that big of a deal? This was something I was interested in and I’ve always been interested in wholesaling but that kind of changed my look on it and was sort of discouraging to read as a new investor.

@Andy Danna so does that only count for the 4 plex or all multi unit homes?

@Dominic Franco thanks for the tip, I’m glad you recommended something fairly close to me that I’m able to attend to and get some good insight and knowledge in person.

@Brett Rounkles thanks for the reply and tip! I figured I could use my VA home loan on a quad tri or duplex but wasn't 100%

So investing in real estate is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m deciding to pull the trigger because I keep saying I’ll do this eventually and always get cold feet.

I’m in the military and currently deployed so I don’t think there’s much I can do here besides study and gain more knowledge (which I do). I’m stationed in NC and I’ve recently discovered the rent to own strategy or lease option agreement.

My question is, is this a viable option for someone starting out? Has anyone does this, and if so how did it work out for you?
