In most markets are starving for undervalued property, so there are lots of cash buyers. She could get fussy on who she wants to deal with and could be in a market where there are multiple offers and plenty of investors with cash. 

 Ok that makes sense, thank you. I didn't know if it was some hard and fast rule that I hadn't heard of before. So it just depends on market conditions and the wholesaler then.

Hey all. I heard a wholesaler on a podcast recently say that she only works with cash buyers. Is that normal? I'm still in the process of saving up a down payment for my first deal and it seems like if I plan to use conventional financing then I'd lose the advantages and deals that wholesalers could offer. Thoughts?

Is this always on the last Tuesday night of the month? I'd love to attend a meeting but I'm usually out of town on Tuesday nights.

Scan through the BiggerPockets podcast archive. Read the descriptions of the shows. Focus on the ones that are centered around rental investors. Most of the interviews include some degree of their "how I started" journey and a lot of sage advice that will help you learn from others mistakes.

 Will do sir, thank you. I have a few other podcasts I've been trying to catch up on but I'll bump the BP one higher up my list.

I'm in the infancy stages of the process here, and I'd love any advice you folks have to offer a young guy just trying to learn as much as possible for now. I have a career that I love that's completely unrelated to real estate, so I guess you could say I'm an aspiring passive buy and hold investor (or at least passive enough to not let my investing career interfere with my full-time line of work).

I'm focusing on paying off a lot of bad, consumer debt for the time being, and I want to take advantage of that time to learn as much as I can before I pull the trigger on my first investment property down the road.

I've looked up some investment clubs in the Atlanta and Athens areas, but it seems like it'll be difficult for me to make it out to a lot of those meetings with my work schedule (I travel a lot and am often out of town during the week). I want to just learn and become involved in the RE community as much as I can, so any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
