I live in Washington DC and I want to become a wholesaler in the DC/Virgina/Maryland area. I know that certain states do title closings with attorneys while others use title companies, but how do you find out which kind of closing your state uses? I've heard that all property titles can be closed with an attorney no matter the state but I don't know if it's fact.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I know that the MLS is the best route to find a list of comparable sells, but I was wondering if the "recent real estate sales" in local newspapers are reliable. I put a link below of a local newspapers I read in Washington D.C. called "The InTowner" and "Hill Rag". Hill Rag states that the information is based on the MRIS (Metropolitican Regional Information Systems) It's a search engine that generates real estate transactions. Any insight would help.

Thank you,

Sierra

The company offers zip code leads for only five bucks a month. Plus once you buy a zipcode, no one else can recieve leads from those zipecodes. The deal seems a little bit too good to be true so I'm just wondering if anyone has used this lead service and has it served beneficial to you.

Thanks,

Thank you guys for all the helpful information. I plan on attending REI meetings to meet some investors. Hopefully I can connect with someone well enough to take me under their wing. I'll update you guys on my journey.

Cool beans, I'm going to start building up a RE team. Thanks for helping me out Bill.

First off I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sierra and I'm new to BP. For the past couple of weeks I've soaked up a bunch of information regarding wholesaling from various sources (including BP), but I'm still confused about purchase agreement contracts/assignment contracts. Where exactly are you supposed to get these contracts from? Do you get these contracts from online, title companies, or an attorney?

Thanks,
