Yes I second Jonathan Towell and I was totally with the wrong crowd at 18 through 25. It wasn't until 25 that I had thoughts of really trying to better myself and find a way to start building for the future so I stumbled on real estate. Now I hv been wholesaling for a couple years now and it has enabled me to stay at home with my two toddlers and still make money. I wish I was driven this way when I was a teenager I'd be a lot farther now. I look to do my first rehab an flip in the beat future. But what I would say is to just get active in the field. There are so many ways to take down a property u will find that bankruptcy and credit score won't hold u back.

Inspiring! I am a wholesaler in dallas. Anxious to do my first flip! Just trying to build up the confidence in my due diligence before I take the dive into that risk

Hi @Steven Butner I am a local wholesaler here in Dallas for a couple yrs now. I 'd love to add u to buyers list. if u could give me your buying criteria. areas, price range, level of rehab preferred.. and email address? 

Wow. United we fall. Divide and conquer. Who is doing the dividing

I bought the $297 course from seeing a Facebook ad while I was 6months pregnant with my first child and looking for a way to make money from home. I had no prior thoughts of real estate. Then I got the call for one on one mentoring an was told it would be 7k and I bought in. Within two week I had my business set up, mail box, websites, learned crm podio system all with the step by step instruction of the mentor. What also made the difference was that the mentor sent me several contacts in my city dallas tx. A few were wholesalers, agents, investors. One agent/investor and fellow clever student really took me on Cuz he needed an assistant so he trained me on how to comp an taught me the Mls an how to pull absent/out of state, pre foreclosure leads for free from Mls and paid for the first few mailers to go out and in return I would take all the calls, facilitate the deals and we split the deals. My first two deals with him closed the same week a month later, one for about 2k and the other for $6800 that we split. We did several more deals together and my clever mentor guided me on training calls. Now I am a fully functioning Solo wholesaler pregnant with my second child And I haven't looked back since. I don't doubt that maybe I could hv met someone like my agent/teacher/partner that took the time to walk me through my first deals from right here on BP without paying for coaching. In fact I was not even on BP prior to clever. And one thing that disappointed me about clever was that when I bought into the one on one mentoring, the staff guy David kept saying I was gonna work with Cody directly and one or the first calls I was gonna get was gonna be from Cody himself and I have never spoke to Cody. And that is like his claim to mentoring fame he says on so many of his videos that that's what separates him from other 'gurus' is that when u invest in mentor ship with him u dont just get put off to the 'minions'... And I called his staff guy David several times an complained about it and all he would say is let me see what I can do an never call me back. So that was very misleading. But I hv made at least four times what I invested in only one year wholesaling so I'd say my experience is more good than bad

@Monika Smith super cool! I have no experience with probate. Kind of intimidated by that since it is more of a 'process' than just dealing with the seller directly. but I would like to try

@Gloudis J. Whiteside hey here is a tip. subscribe to your local REI groups email list and meetup groups for real estate investing. Some of those emails will show all the emails it blasts too. Thats an easy way to get cash buyers list in your area. Everyone won't be a buyer but everyone is interested in real estate and most will be interested in seeing your deals. good luck!

started wholesaling this year with no knowledge at all, just a friend who is a real estate agent that taught me how to comp properties on mls. Everything else I had to figure out myself.. bought a couple "guru" online courses, sent mail out, figured out that I could pull absentee list for free from tax roles.. when the calls started coming in, I wasn't nervous, I am a people person, so I just had friendly conversations with the sellers more about their situation that causes them to want to sell than actually about the house itself. And everytime they would ask something I didn't know I would play it off or say I gotta check with partner and I work on finding out after getting off the phone. (On my first deal the seller was 80years old trying to unload his 5 or 6 rentals and he was asking me about 1031exchange so that he could avoid capital gains tax and I had NO CLUE what he was talking about lol I ended up wholesaling 2 of his houses but a more experienced me could have sold that whole package to another investor for a bigger spread)

I would pay an agent to go see the properties that had the time, wanted to be involved with wholesaling, and knew what to look for because Im starting to learn now the basics of rehab and what things cost, but I had no clue. Then when I went to a few houses myself to get the experience, I had no idea what to look for, I was just snapping pictures away of any little crack in the wall I saw, any every appliance or thing that could possibly break. 

I am the perfect example of faking it till u make it. I think it is AMAZING that this world of real estate investing allows total newbies to get in and learn as they go, even with little to no money to invest (wholesaling). I couldn't believe when my agent friend even told me in the beginning that I could do this without being an agent or studying anything. I had just had my first born son late last year so I had been a stay at home mom early 2015 looking for something I could do from home to generate income. By the summer I was rocking it out. took me two months to do my first deal. Actually my first two deals closed the same week one for 6500 and the other for 2500. Havn't turned back since! But I still have sooooooo much to learn and I learn everyday, a lot attributed to BP podcasts and forums I read and listen to and learn new terminologies. I am turning into a savvy RE Entrepreneur. Life is good
