Latesha,

Welcome to the game.  What training have you had in wholesaling?  If you are focusing in Minnesota, where are the hot zones where investors are buying?  Let me know and then I will recommend a coach

Brittany, The MLS is still a great source for deals. Keep farming there. One key that I've been taught is to go where the action is. Where investors (CASH) are buying. Then figure out what they pay on average. Build the relationships and find out what they want. Go to the best source, MLS, and make offers based on what buyers pay less your fee. If a buyer balks because you found a deal on the MLS before they did move on to the next one who appreciate your service. GB, Kevin

Wayne, Find the buyers 1st then you'll find the deals. They lead you to where you should market for motivated sellers.

How many buyers have closed deals in your target in the last 90-120 days. Those are your buyers. Drive to those props and meet the buyer or their rehab crew and let them know you have a great deal in the same area. I'm assuming that since you have a prop under agreement you now have a window of time to close. Also try Craigslist. I've been taught you have to have buyers in place 1st, then find deals. Keep us posted and God Bless.

Not your job to estimate repairs unless you are going to rehab or hold. Leave that part to your buyers. They will let you know. Your charge is to find out what type of props buyers love and what they will spend to get it? If you still worry about repairs after reading above, estimate $15k going in. Once you have property under agreement, use your inspection period to show buyers. If they say rehab above $15k cancel or renegotiate price with seller. If they say less than $15k you're on track to cha Ching!!!!

Find a wholesaler with a real cash buyer list in the other city on Craigslist or Google. Leverage his list and contacts to close. Split profits 50/50. Done deal.
