Hello all,

I've been doing more work on getting out and wholesaling for myself. I've gained confidence through posts on here, videos on youtube and podcasts. I want to listen to the BP podcast some more as I know they have some great info. What episodes would you guys recommend listening to for anyone looking to learn more on general wholesaling and marketing? Thank you very much!

@John Mathewson I just realized I missed a big portion of what I wanted to say in my original post haha. I'm wondering, how do you find people to partner with for a deal? Is it on the BP marketplace or elsewhere, what is the best way to go out and find some partners?

Thank you again

@John Mathewson Ahh okay thank you , that cleared it all up!

Hello all, I'm new to real estate but I've been researching ways to get started for a good month now and one of the things I keep seeing appear are JV deals. I'm looking to get started in wholesaling, are JV partnerships like a mentor program of sorts? As in I'm able to observe the process of a deal to understand it more or is it something else?

@Kyle Madero

This is a great thread man, you are asking all the questions I want to have answered. Best of luck on this deal!

First you need to see if there is any info online you can get access to for free. Here in Orange county Florida I can get basic info of who is the deceased name. Then I go to the assessors website to see if that person owns any property. Then if they do I do my research to see if the property is worth going after (ARV, loans, Schools, etc). If it is then I have to go down to the courthouse to look for who is the Personal REP (PR). that is the person I need to contact about the property. I cannot get access to this info online unless I am a member of the family or their attorney. That is why I have to go downtown to the county courthouse to get the PR info. Then I do my research of how to get in contact that the PR and then send them a personal letter. I don't know how it works in your county but you need to ask.

 Lots of great info there thank you. Unfortunately my county is a bit behind in terms of what you can find online but there are obituaries I can find. After learning of the deceased name what exactly is the assesors website, how do I find out if they own any property?

I'm a brand new investor looking at wholesaling probate properties. I emailed my county clerk's office and got a response back saying I can view all record online for $600 a year or for free in person. Since I am new I am going to go in person but I'm not too sure what to expect. I have a few hours set aside these next few days to go down and look but what should I be looking for? What is a good tell tale sign of a solid probate lead, how do I spot a good pick from the pack? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello all,

I'm a new investor who is looking to start wholesaling in the coming months. I'm working with my brother who lives in Huntsville Alabama while I live in Northern Virginia. My question to you guys would be, which area do you feel has more promise as a wholesaler? My brother has been attending meetings in Huntsville and speaking to investors (we are focusing on probates) so we are probably going to expand there but I wanted some input on the two. Have any of you guys had luck wholesaling in either of the two places, any recommendations for areas? 

I'm new to real estate, I've been researching ways to get started in the business for the past month. An aspect of real estate which I haven't seen much about but I think is very important is having good photos of a property. In the videos I've watched and in some blogs they showcase homes which feature very poorly taken photos or hardly any at all. I feel like this turns a lot of people off if they can't have a clear picture of what the property looks like. Is there such a thing as a real estate photographer? I'm asking because I'm searching for ways to be more involved in the whole practice of buying and selling, rather than just sticking to learning through my computer. I love photography and though I'm no pro, I can take better photos than the vast majority of photos shown on most homes. Is this a position people want to fill? I'm not trying to solicit myself, I am just asking if hiring someone to take photos or take videos of properties exists, or do most buyers/sellers do that themselves?

This is brand new to me, I knew wholesaling had some digital elements to it but I had no clue you could do it ALL online. Could you by any chance explain to me your process on how you make deals happen via this method?
