@Aziz Raji Thank you! I completely agree with you. I can definitely see how this could be hard work at times. I completely get that. I hope that I can actually come across someone who may be willing to mentor me!

@Christopher Charles I absolutely love that! Thank you! Oh how I wish you were in Chicago, seems as though you aren't stingy with information! I hope to find a nice mentor like you suggested who will not take all of my money. It's an investment, I get it and what I can take from it can be priceless... but I still don't want to be completely broke lol. I literally only know one person in this field and he is not in a position to mentor so I wouldn't love to find one. I really want to get this!

@Gail Govednik Well since being uncomfortable is the first step, consider me moving on to step number 2 now! lol Awesome advice, I have been looking into networking events I guess my next step should be business cards then because i have nothing to hand out at these events, unless I hand out my current business cards as I am a real estate agent, but nothing on them mentions that I am an investor as well.

I am looking to get into investing, wholesaling sparked my interest as I can do this with no money (right up my alley seeing as though I dont have much), I eventually want to get into flipping but I just wanted to start here to learn this side of real estate.

I would love to converse with you further about what you are looking for as well!

@Roland Paicely I am a real estate agent and I still have fear of the phone. But that is actually a great suggestion and I am going to try that! Thank you!

Hello All,

I am new to wholesaling and I must admit that I am a nervous wreck. I have watched videos that has given me a bunch of information. I have joined plenty of groups, read and heard plenty of success stories and here I am eager to start but I am the type of person who is so scared of messing up that it holds me back. That is where I am today.

Do any of you have any suggestions for people just starting out? Solutions, motivation, tips, lessons learned, helpful tools to use or anything? I have seen different ways to possibly go out to find sellers, such as bandit signs, landlords and the MLS. Is there an easier way? Do you suggest that a newbie has a mentor? Anyone in Chicago willing to be a mentor?

Any help at all is appreciated!

Dave Melton Makes plenty of sense. I think I may need to just seek a partner and/or mentor.
