@Will Barnard Very solid points, thank you so much! 

Colby,

thank you so much for your honest feedback, I appreciate it a lot. what are your thoughts on the Deal machine to get leads driving 4 dollars, I was thinking of starting that way until I am able to have a decent marketing budget? 

I have been living in ATL since July, I would say definitely ATL and the surrounding areas are good locations to invest in, if you go too far out then you're in the woods. be careful with the southern ATL area as it seems those are the worse part of town. 

Hey Everyone, 

I have been learning and researching how to go about setting up my wholesale business and launching it in January 2022. I would like to get your feedback about the information I've compiled to do it the right way and efficiently. 

How to wholesale legally with no troubles?

1. Have Finder’s Fee contract with Investor
2. Form a new entity with wholesaler and Investor, at closing, you sell shares of the company to the Investor for the agreed-upon fee.

What is Wholesaling?

• Selling the RE Contract to an investor/ Cash buyer.

How to get paid and not break laws?

• Create LLC with you and Partner and once closed sell share of the LLC to Partner for finder's fee.
• Create a Finder’s fee agreement with the Cash buyer.

• How to be a great wholesaler
  1. The ability to contract RE at great discounts.
  2. The ability to build a real buyer's list (real cash buyers with real proof of funds)
  3. Ability to evaluate your market and ability to peg rehab numbers.
• 4. Honesty

What is the Key to wholesaling?

1. Marketing and getting off-market motivated sellers.
2. Quality Cash buyers list

Lead sources for Wholesaling

4. Do you have access to Private money?
   
   
5. Do you have access to hard money?
   
   
6. What’s your price point?
   
   
7. Do you want to buy and hold?
   
   
8. Will this be a flip?

1. How many deals have you done in the past 2 years?
2. May I have the addresses?
3. Do you have Proof of Funds you can send me?
4. If I find you a deal that fits your Criteria, how soon can you close?

Vetting Cash Buyer/ Investor?

• Have title company lookup all Cash closed transactions with entity names in the area that repeat multiples of 1.
• Make sure to get financial Feedback. (Example, if I find a deal that needs 60K in rehabs, after repair it could sell for 350K, how much would you be willing to pay for that deal?

It is my goal to fully Launch into Wholesaling by January 2022 and I want to make sure I am doing it correctly to build a reputable name in the space, eventually getting into Fix and Flips and Rentals. 

I am currently in the process of building my buyers list, any insight as to how to find properties out of state, and what would the process look like? would you guys mind sharing the template contract you guys are currently using? anything else that I might be missing? 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
