@Jonathan Greene, the program wasn’t really worthless, they taught us how to get buyers, get in good with title companies, talk to sellers, and how to be ethical about it, since most wholesalers really aren’t that ethical. We want everyone to walk away happy from every deal, we don’t want to get the biggest profit, rather we would want to help everyone’s situation. What we are struggling with is that the places we are finding do not have many comps that we can use so we can’t evaluate it as well as we could if there were good comps. We also have been using different sources, such as trulia, zillow, redfin, realtor.com, and propstream, but they give us different results so we are getting mixed up based on the lack of consistent information...

Thank you so much!! We have a pretty good buyers list, our struggle is usually getting stuck on prices. We will ask our buyers what they are thinking but we typically don't get an answer in time or we don't know how to explain our price to the sellers... We have a really good buyer who helps us out but we are kind of skeptical of a few because they seem like they might go behind our backs and take the lead if we give them the address, so then we are stuck. What do you think we should do about that? Our mentors were saying that if they go behind our back then to just not work with them again and that'll be beneficial for our future, but if it's a really good deal, it would be really discouraging for them to go behind our backs...

Hey everyone, I've just gotten into Real Estate recently, and I don't have a lot of money to market for my wholesaling business. I've been trying out looking through facebook marketplace, craigslist, and propstream to find potential leads, and I've put up a few flyers in neighborhoods, posted ads on craigslist, and I bought 20 bandit signs (but I've only put up 5 though because I want to see how many are taken down by the end of the weekend, because I can't afford to buy any more right now). I've gotten a little traction through cold calling, but so far I haven't had many people contact me. What would you guys suggest I do to best market for motivated sellers? I don't have too much money to spend at the moment but I'm definitely willing to put in the time.

Good morning! My boyfriend and I are going into Real Estate together and we started wholesaling a few months ago, but we are struggling to make much progress... We did a 3 month program that would guide us along the path, but when it comes down to it, we get stuck on how to make a good offer on a house that our buyers would be interested in. I've seen other wholesalers post deals upon deals with contracts for assignment and it seems like they know everything about what to get the house for. We will spend hours on one lead trying to find out what a good price for it would be but we don't understand how other wholesalers get the right price when there are so many factors that go into it and it depends on each buyer. We have typically sent the properties to the buyers to see what they would want it for, but by that point, at least for the last few deals, there will be an offer made on the house already... I guess we just don't move quick enough. What do you guys do to be able to find the buy price? We get stuck on ARV's and repair costs. Please comment any suggestions!!
