 First let me ask you. What's your expierence as a realtor? How long have you been a realtor? How many properties in the mountains have you sold?

Hello everyone, 

I live in Florida and looking to buy a piece of land in the mountains. The plan is to buy the land and when I pay off the loan, build a cabin. I want to stay relatively close to Florida. I plan to drive to the property after the cabin is built, therefore I don't want to drive more than 15 hours. I want to work with an experienced realtor who specializes in selling vacant land. I have mentioned the states I am currently interested in which are, GA, TN, VA & NC. You can reply to me on here with your information or send me a DM.

Thank you. I look forward to working with you.

Hello, all my little mortals. Allow me to inspire you, and give  my 2 cents, and at the same time guide your mindset towards a better standing.

If you are looking for easy.. guess what. You will have a hard time becoming successful.

Wholesaling is difficult. A lot of people say that.

WHoelsaling is not difficult. Not even a little bit. Wholesaling takes WORK. yes. But it is not difficult.

Here is why wholesaling IS ABSOLUTELY an entry-level to REI.

A GOOD wholesaler knows how to do:

1. Lead generation

2. Marketing

3. Negotiating

4. Find cash buyers,

5. Understand contracts, both on the acquisitions and dispositions side

6. ARVs

7. Cost of repairs

8. They know what cash buyers are looking for, and thus they know what house flipping entails

9. They know what B&H strategies entail

10. They know how BRRR works

11. They know EVERY dang aspect of ALL niches of real estate investing.

12. And a lot more

To be a good wholesaler, you are a God when it comes to real estate investing. So think about it. Do you want to become successful?

Yes right? What do you think it takes to become successful as a real estate investor? You need every single point I just listed ... which is exactly what a good wholesaler is an expert of. So yes, wholesaling IS FACTUALLY the perfect entry-level to REI.

Most people that say it isn't, are lin-fact, shortcutting the process, knowingly or unknowingly. I am not saying that everyone HAS to become a wholesaler. If you don't like it don't do it. I am simply answering the question of whether or not wholesaling is an entry-level strategy. YES, it is.

Entry level does NOT equal "easy". 

Entry level simply means to me here, yes you can absolutely start with wholesaling as an entry into the space of REI.

A lot of people want shortcuts. They are lazy, they will work harder on making that shortcut work, but if they just did the actual work that they should do, it would take far less work!

I am where I am because I am a purty dang good wholesaler. This is the reason every single one of my  wholesale deals ranges between $50K and $100K (no joke)

This is the reason I buy houses for 30 cents, 20 cents, 5 cents, and even less than 1 cent on the $ (although this 1 cent on the dollar house happened only once though :P)

This is why EVERY single one of my ridiculous high-quality leads is 100% free.

And I do ZERO work to get them. Leads chase me. I don't chase them

All this. My life, my freedom. my financial prowess.. all because I started wholesaling.

Instead of looking at what the easiest way is to hack "success".. acknowledge that it is YOU that needs to step up, and become the person you need to be (whether this includes getting a thicker skin, knowledge, ambition, and pure wrath) to make it happen.

You need to ask yourself, do you have what it takes are you a friggin pushover. If the answer is yes. GO get it. If the answer is no, ask yourself. What are you going to do about it?

So... whatever you decide. It will come with its own challenges. House hacking, begging for money, begging for someone else to mentor you (probably will teach you wrong)... or, man, just step up. Become a beast and dominate your future. That is what I did!

Best of luck

Can you share some tips about building buyers list from bigger pockets..TIA

 The biggest tip I can give you about cash buyers is to not worry about building a list of cash buyers.

There absolutely is no need to.

Focus on getting great deals. Once you get these, cash buyers will find you. 

Here on biggerpockets I get daily requests from people asking to be added to my buyers list. I have never pitched one single deal to them.

They see I am the authority on finding deals so they ask. Agian, they know I get great deals. So they take the initiative to request to be on my list.

If you really wanted to find cash buyers (you don't need to),  people need to change their mindset.

Do you know ANY wholesaler that eagerly would share their buyers list? No right? WHY?!

I share mine.

The funny thing is, I have never posted a deal on there. (I did once, because I am creating a Wholesaling course and I sacrificed one of my houses, to film how I wholesaled it, and one of the topics of my course was how to do dispositions, so I used my group to wholesale one of my houses).

But regardless... no one shares anything. This keeps the community segmented, and everyone will have a harder time being successful. Instead, if we all worked together,  everyone would become successful. No one would allow someone else to fail.

So want cash buyers? Give them away. That is the best way to get more.

When you provide value, everyone will be attracted to you, connect with you, learn from you and you become the authority.

So my tip is..

focus on getting deals, not cash buyers. The rest will fall in place.

I promise.

Create a group and provide value.

I am taking it one step further.  I am creating a learning community that will house free lessons, and free education, (my wholesaling course will be offered there as well). And not the crap education all these gurus are pushing out like DMM cold calling and texting.

Our wholesale deals literally range between $50K and $100K, and it is SOOOOO incredibly simple. People just can't let go of what they think thy know and that is their downfall.

The only requirement is, to help each other. When that launches, I honestly believe this will be a game-changer.

One for all, and all for one!
