hey @Michael Dundon I will definitely reach if I get something in the area, I'm hoping the the Panera lunch offer still stands if you ever have time to meet. I would love  pick your brain about real estate.

thanks @Brant Richardson I definitely dodged a bad house on my first deal.

my email is [email protected] @Al Neal

thanks @Al Neal I'm esearching the south redford area right now, I'm planning on driving the area and also putingt a direct mail campaign to that area. My friend/investor mentor @Philip Jones buys and holds property in detroit. sfr 3/1 or  3/2 

that's a great course of action that I plan on using. Thanks for the advice and contributing to this post @Shane Woods  

I plan on going to my 1st REIA meeting on Aug 21, I'm hoping I can meet some investors/wholesalers who wont mind mentoring me. Thanks for the advice @Jessica H. 

I haven't spoke to any realtors yet but I plan to. @Anil Samuel I know a few contractors, just waiting to work out a possible time to meet with them and explain what I'm doing.

Thanks for the advice!

I have read tons of posts and blogs bout wholesaling and i'm trying to gain as much knowledge as i can before I secure my first deal but I also don't want to be in the same position i am now a month or two later.

But since I'm a newbie one of my major concerns is the ARV and how i can be as accurate as possible without having a background in rehabbing. I want to be successful and I know the quickest way to get a bad rep is to give a terrible estimates on the rehab of any deal i get under contract.

I hope i can find a wholesale mentor in my area that wouldn't mind steering in the right direction, but i also know i have to be of some value for a person to lend me their time and knowledge.

You guys input on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

I was leaning towards absentee owners and possibly section 8 home owners. I'm not sure if I will face a lot of difficulty trying to achieve this. @Russell Ponce 

I will make sure I download the file, thank you for the advice. @Curt Davis
