Is this a good way to start? This seems like a great way to raise capital so you can eventually start marketing. However I don't know the complete processes of it and how the deals are found, Because if I find a good investment property why don't I just wholesale it? This just seems like a good way to earn while you learn.

Where do you buy them cheap? I found a website but they only sell you cheap signs if you buy them in large amounts. Or could you do it yourself? If so where would you get the plain yellow ones?

So since I don't have a lot of money to begin with it seems that Bandit signs are cheaper than direct mail where you must send out 500 postcards to get a deal. So is it worth it? I know they're legal because I see them everywhere in my area, I just wanted to know what are the results to this?

I have an excel spreadsheet with the name, mailing address, city, state, zip. And I wanted to know how click2mail works. Does't every postcard need to be different since they're being mailed to different addresses asking about different properties? I;m pretty sure there's an easier way than creating a different postcard for every lead and mailing it to them.

Like I've said I'm young and I want to find a mentor or someone I can work with, I have found some absentee owners but haven't mailed to them since I only have like 15. So If anyone could help me out how to get more absentee owners, probate vacant properties etc. We can split profits I just really want to do a deal before the end of the month & gain expireince.

Hi. I recently joined BP and I am 17 years old I want to start off investing in Real Estate since I cannot find a job and investing is more exciting and rewarding. I found that wholesaling Real Estate is almost risk free with little money needed, but I'm a bit reluctant on starting because of my age. I was thinking that if I learned the process thoroughly could one of my parents sign a contract or my brother (he's 20)? I've been doing a great amount of research on Real Estate not just wholesaling and found that there is plenty of opportunities. I know it might seem unusual for a person my age to be interested in this, but I would rather be an investor/entrepreneur than the average 9-5 job that most people have.

So I've done some research and found multiple distressed properties and even have some buyers however like I've said the buyer and seller will likely get cold feet because of my age. So if I could get it under contact with them could someone such as my parents or older relative put a property under contract?

What about an LLC? Will it matter if it's under the name of a business? I'm in Washington if it helps. Thanks for help and support.

So I've found a few distressed home in my area of Seattle and I was wondering if the only way to get in contact with the owner is by direct mail?
