Post: First step of wholesaling

I know what wholesaling is, but I guess I’m just scared. What are the first steps you would take? How would you put the boat in motion?  I live in California, but I want to reach out to Las Vegas homeowners I guess the thought of them living 4 hours away is discouraging me. And also that I’ve never done this before. I feel I’ve been procrastinating so much.

So I’ve talked to this homeowner he claims that he fixed up the home with new fixtures and appliances. He’s on Zillow his listing is at $243,000 and Zillow estimated the value at $216,000. How can I negotiate it lower than $216,000 lets say if there isn’t anything that needs to be fixed. Is it possible for him to get offended if I ask below $216,000. This will be my first close. (If I get him on a contract) please help!!

How do I wholesale foreclosure/ auction houses? I hear around that it’s possible, but wouldn’t I have to pay up front if i win the bid?

Thank you guys so much!! I like the idea of remembering my “why” I have so many people depending on me right now. I really appreciate you guys! and wholesaling isn’t easy at all, but one thing I tell myself is there’s thousands of houses out there so I’m bound to get one.

@Joey Dong thank you so much. I’ve never really thought about watching inspiring videos. I appreciate you taking your time to help me see a better side.

How to stay focused and not be discouraged in wholesaling? How long did it take for some of you guys to get your first home? And how dedicated were you?
