I am looking to finally start out in the industry. I have been networking with people and reading on wholesaling. I think that is a good place for me to start and get my foot in the door. I am currently at the  point of looking for buyers to partner with so I can take the next step and start looking for properties.

Hello, I have been reading on wholesaling and watching videos on it and I am genuinely interested in learning this strategy. I am new to real estate and think this is a good place to start. Are there any Mentors willing to help me? I am 26 years old and since I heard about wholesaling I have been determined to do it. I just can't stop thinking about it. So anyone willing to mentor me and help me get started PLEASE reach out to me. I won't waste your time. I am even willing to pay for your time and help. Looking forward to hearing from you all! Thanks for your time

You have to accept the consequences of those bad decisions and that they will create limitations on how you move forward, but you can move forward. For example, you can't get a real estate license, but you don't need one to buy/sell for yourself. 

 I have some finances, but not enough to buy and sell a house. What are ways I can get in by building up? If that makes sense. Sorry I am so excited right now and determined to figure this out lol. I also messaged you.

You said it yourself....you learn by doing.

Go get a deal done. You will learn more about the business finding your way through it than any book, podcast or YouTube video will teach you.

You can have mentors that don't even know you exist. What I mean by that is you don't need some formal relationship or arrangement. Most of my mentors are contributors on this site, we have never met or had a conversation. Follow the ones that you respect. You will get soooo much FREE AND ACTIONABLE advice here on BP.

Ask good questions and most of the time you will get good answers. Good luck!


 Thank You.

I have been interested in property since I was just a teen. I never figured out how or where to start and what needs to be done. I need guidance, a mentor. I have read books but I am more of a hands on learner. I learn from experiencing and doing things. I really just want to find somebody dedicated to investing their time in me, a young man trying to turn dreams into reality. I will be dedicated to learning and growing and make sure your time is not used in vain. Somebody help me please? I hope to make this post the first part of my success story. Watch me grow!


 This to me sounds like what happens when you get a job. Get a job in real estate and they will teach you, mentor you on what they do. Plus you also get paid to do it. Why have you not considered getting a job in real estate?


 I unfortunately made bad decisions at the age of 18 and 22 putting felonies on my background. From my understanding Real estate agencies do not hire felons, and people are not open to give chances. I have made a full 360, but all they see is my past.
