Erik, you summed up exactly how I feel with the mental road blocks.  As soon as I try to learn one aspect of the process, I find another step that I "need" to understand before doing anything.  

Thank you for the language recommendations. 

I am taking your advice on taking action starting with marketing. I am finishing my marketing list tomorrow and deploying my direct mail campaign this weekend.  I have some personally handwritten letters out there from driving/deal machine and am reaching out to the bandit signs/other wholesalers/Craigslist listings.  

On a fun note, one of the addresses I sent a Yellow Letter to called me back (my first call).  As a sales professional in my 9-5 job, I was really pumped to have a productive convo with a possible seller no matter the outcome and learn from it.  He said his house was just appraised for $1M (which is probably true) and asked if I really had that much Cash to buy the house with.   As soon as I started to explain that I dont pay full market price because... He cut me off and said "yeah F Off".   That was awesome.  

Happy I was able to get that out of the way with my first call! ha.  

Hi Erik.  I generally ask if you have anyone who works with real estate investors, are familiar with wholesale deals and what is required.  For the most part they are uncertain of what I am asking.  

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good title company that is investor friendly for wholesale deals in San Diego?  I have called a hand full and have had no luck so far.  In all fairness, I am new to wholesaling and am trying to get my ducks in row. So it is possible I am not clearly explaining what I am looking for when I speak to them.  I am in the Pacific Beach area but any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Hello BP Community,

My name is Kyle; I am 28 years old, living in San Diego, originally from Western Massachusetts and work full time as a sales rep for a roofing supply company.  I was lucky to have stumbled upon the BiggerPockets Podcast and have been addicted to developing my RE knowledge ever since.

As of now I have no real estate background besides the BP podcasts I listen to daily.  

My real estate goals are to start Wholesaling in San Diego, using those earnings to purchase a buy and hold property/house hack.  I want to continue to accumulate properties that cash flow (open to looking in different regions, especially Western Mass), begin flipping, and be open minded to all opportunities to build a fluid RE business.  The ultimate goal is to build enough passive income so I can leave my current job at some point, IF I choose to.  

My immediate goal is to find someone to talk real estate, build a relationship and network with in San Diego (I live in Pacific Beach but travel all over the county for work).  Currently, I am focusing on a marketing plan to begin Wholesaling but could use some guidance on direct mail campaigns, basic systems to have in place, which neighborhoods/towns to target,...everything with getting the ball rolling. 

I want to start building wealth.  Working hard for someone else's bottom line will not get me to where I want to be financially.  I am ready to learn and take action.

Please feel free to each out, I look forward to meeting you.

Kyle
