@Caleb L. that took away all the worry I had, thank you!

Do you wholesale houses as well or are you in a different niche?

Fear mostly.

I don’t know the necessary steps to take after I find a property that looks distressed.

 Step #1 Figure out what you think that it is worth. Estimate what it would sell for fully redone. Estimate rehab costs. Add a buffer.

Step #2 Find out who the owner is. Go to town or county records office. Figure out a way to contact them/ get their number.

Step #3 Get the amount of money lined up that you think you need.

Step #4 Speak to the owner.

There are plenty of foreclosure and pre-foreclosure books out there.

 Thank you Frank, I really appreciate it!

Hey everyone. I've decided that I want to get into wholesaling until I can build up enough money to start buying and flipping. I'm doing my homework before I actually attempt to find sellers/buyers so that I know what to do and don't make myself look foolish and to make sure I don't get in any legal trouble. That being said, I have a question.

I understand that when you find a seller you have to fill out a Purchase & Sale Contract and within that contract is where you state when you'll have the home sold to a buyer. So what happens if you aren't able to sell the home within the alotted time frame? 

Is there a way to "back-out" of the contract or are you just up a creek without a paddle?

That's my biggest fear because I don't have the funds to buy a house if that happens. Can someone educate me on this??

I’m completely ignorant when it comes to real estate. Meaning I haven’t even gotten to the pool to get my feet wet, hope I got some laughs, however I know for certain that I want to change my life and get into real estate.

I’ll admit that it’s a bit overwhelming when going it alone so what are some of the best tips and advice for someone who doesn’t even know where to start?
