 Thanks Nathan! Not yet but maybe sometime in the future. I'll keep you in mind friend.

Me and my partner are going to be flipping and are in need of these people. If you have recommendations or references that would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi there William! Welcome to BiggerPockets!

Real estate is definitely sexy right now so you are in the right place if you are looking to get started. To help others help you, consider filling out your profile so everyone can see your goals. Also there are great books, blogs, and guides as well as inspiring people on here so there is no lack of good information. I'm sure others will come around as well to network.

Have a great day!

From the pictures of the property it is livable. For the rehab time I was being conservative. This would be my first rehab so I prepared for the worst. I planned on having the property rented a week or two after the rehab is completed. The average rent in the area is $1,115, especially after a rehab, but it's currently not rented. The acquisition will be conventional and once again for the LTV I was conservative in assuming I'd get a lesser amount. Thank you for your time!

Do my numbers look good for promising deal? I followed along on a webinar with Brandon but I want to get some feedback as well. Thank you for any help and if you have any questions I'll respond quickly.

Howdy BiggerPockets, Riddle me this,

If I'm looking to wholesale a property from the MLS but don't have an end buyer lined up just yet, how do I show proof of funds so that I can put in an offer on the property?

I've found that just looking at properties and the numbers presented by the ad isn't a good determination for a deal. The way to know for sure is to use a calculator or spreadsheet and run the numbers. Your numbers won't lie to you. Brandon Turner said that 90% of the properties you find are bad deals BUT you'll never know without running the numbers. I recommend the BiggerPockets calculator.

Good luck to you.

Nice job guys! I'll give it a listen when I get the time and of course leave a like.

I'm in the exact same boat right now. I've been working with a team of investors and wholesalers here in Texas that are showing me the ropes and teaching me as I go. What kind of wholesaling experience do you have and does your job correlate with real estate right now?

Howdy Matt! Welcome to Biggerpockets! :) A piece of advice I could give is to always be patient with investments. A great deal can take time to come around, even in a hot market like San Antonio. Always keep your mind open to education and accept advice from people that are actually doing things out there. I'm still a newbie but I'm learning day by day and would be more than happy to help you with the knowledge I have learned.
