Thanks so much to everyone who shared on this thread. 

@Brandon I have that HP printer at home already, and I'm now so glad I sprang for it last year before I even got into REI business. I really appreciate the update as well.

I'd like to share that you can create a handwritten font in your own handwriting for free at myscriptfont.com.  I played around with it before for my AVON business.  It worked really well once I perfected my handwritten template.

Thanks Paul.  I'm well on my way.  I really appreciate the guidance.

Hi there, I just used them for the first time today. I will let you know how they convert. ;)

Thanks @Tom V. for the solid advice.

Your points are well taken Tom. I really appreciate the feedback. I clearly have a long way to go before I'm ready to begin wholesaling.

To answer your questions:

No, I do not have any investors lined up yet, but I intended to focus more on marketing to build a list of them.

I'm admittedly still learning how to determine what's a good deal, and I'm working with a mentor who has agreed to help me analyze my first few deals for a small, flat fee.

I have little capital to risk, so I'm definitely looking for an option that won't require huge cash outlays. I'm also still working a full-time job. I agree, what I described as marketing is exactly real estate brokerage. Duhh. I think I got beside myself since I was looking for the best option given my lifestyle today.

My time would be early mornings, weekends, and evenings to work around my fulltime job. My budget is a couple thousand dollars, which I've determined would be for marketing, business setup, and mentorship. So not much...

I ready your article about the financial preparations, and honestly that's what I was hoping to use assignment fees to cover...debt repayment; clearing student debt, and car loan payoff. I understand the burden of carrying too much debt as an investor, so I know I'm not quite there yet. I was really hoping to assign properties part time as a secondary form of income to prepare for future investment business.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to this website and to real estate investing/marketing in general. I've spent a good amount of time pouring through this site and other manuals, seminars, and mentor trainings. I'd like to go ahead and get started with marketing for wholesale deals. I'm finding that many advise to use bandit signs, which I just found out are illegal. I also find a lot of mentors advise using squeeze pages to capture leads, and these really seem a bit shady to me.

My question: What's the downsdie to marketing yourself as a real estate marketer for wholesale deals? I'm imagining marketing to distressed or otherwise motivated sellers to help them find a buyer at no cost to them, so long as they agree to contract with me for my price for a certain period of time (couple weeks). If I were a home buyer, I'd like the idea of someone helping me find a home buyer, especially if I didn't need to pay them myself. Then I find a buyer, assign the contract, and close the deal.

Any feedback or suggestions?
