Thanks Robbin. I'm going to check that one out. Good Luck to you as well.

Thanks Hattie. Samantha, no worries. Ask away. Samantha, I think she's saying you don't necessarily need one unless you're doing a double closing and that it's good to have one but not a necessity. 

Hattie, 

The information you just gave spoke volumes to me. Since I posted this post earlier, I have been doing some more research and readings and I have come to the conclusion that this is not going to be an overnight thing. I assure you that I seriously do not want to be a "fizzle d out" investor. I need this business to grow and prosper and for that reason I will take the tortoise's approach to this. 

I haven't listened to any podcasts, having only checked out the blog and forums. But I will definitely do it now. I appreciate your advice darling. One last question, what about a title company? Are those necessary to have or not really, @Hattie Dizmond ?

Hi everyone. I have been cruising around this site for some time now but have just recently decided to make an account and post. I purchased the ebook, The Smart Wholesaler, in hopes that it would teach me everything I needed to know in order to jump right in and get started with virtually no money down wholesaling. While the book gave some valid tips, I'm just not so confident in my executing my first deal. I thought I would be after anxiously and excitingly reading this book, but I'm not. 

I just want to get my first deal off the ground hoping that the others will just fall in line after that. I'm thinking of purchasing leads from Melissadata.com or ListSource.com. Has anyone used those and can provide feedback? Also, I have to purchase my postcards, yellow letters, smart signs, business number and some leads for potential buyers if they don't fall in line with the list I'll get from the two above sources. 

My question is, are there any tips that you guys can give me in order to easily gain motivated sellers and honest motivated buyers? Seeing as though those are the two main important things that's needed to start wholesaling. I've read all of the threads on here about obtaining them but wanted to know YOUR advice on what you do to get them. Also, should I acquire lawyers and title companies as well? I have the contracts that The Smart Wholesaler provided for me to get started. I emailed her but getting a response back while she is in high demand and busy with her ventures is probably not going to happen, despite the fact that she offers 60 days to work with her on deals. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I really would like to complete my first deal before the year is out. **Please no negativity. Be nice. I am a newbie.**
