how do I make the @reneeharris thingy work? said the programmer. :)

Hi BP,

I have read the Beginner's Guide, The Definitive Guide to Real Estate Wholesaling and I've read through the sticky posts in this forum. I decided since I have no money I should start with wholesaling and as exit strategy. I'd eventually like to start flipping properties. Since I am short on cash, credit and experience, I'm looking for a mentor in the L.A. or Santa Monica areas to help with the experience part.

My intent here is not to discourage, but to open the eyes of the new members who think that wholesaling is their best starting point. I personally disagree. The best starting point is to pick a strategy they would like to do (buy and hold, flipper, etc.) and then find a partner who is already doing it and partner with such an investor.

I would love to start with a partner and investor here, but as a newbie, I see more hope in wholesaling. Not sure where to begin.

Ways I can help you out... I have my own car, lots of time, web and graphic designer.

Thanks, looking forward to here from you.

@Marcus Kennedy:  when I get overwhelmed I like to break the tasks down into 15 minute intervals. I literally set a timer and I will do it, in your case, return calls for 15 minutes. Then do more if I want.  If not, when the 15 is up, I go do something else and schedule a time to come back later and do another 15 minutes. Usually, I'm in a groove and rarely stop after 15 mins. It'll go for an hour. I like this because it falls in the 15 minutes a day is better than nothing category.  Which is what happens when I'm really stressed and overwhelmed...I get nothing done.

Hope this helps.

Oh yeah, as a newbie who is just learning, where did you get the names/leads for this absentee list? If you don't mind saying. 

Thank you both. I'm learning a lot already.

welcome Linda, I'm new too from L.A.

welcome. I'm new too, just joined today. 

Thank you all for the welcome and the suggestions. :)

Hi, 

I found this site while doing some research. It looks AWESOME. Like the title says I'm a total newbie looking to flip houses. I've always wanted to do it and think it's something I'll really enjoy. Right now, all I have is determination, integrity, hard work ethic and a fire to succeed. I got some books from the library and have been reading those. Really excited and fearful. But, can't wait to post about my first deal. 

My goals are to become financially independent through flipping. I have a background in computer programming, website design and social media marketing. I'm ready to move into a new career and want to start doing what I love and be my own boss.

Thank you. I look forward to meeting new people.
