@Aaron Jones

@Levi T. is correct in that it is highly unlikely that bank would give you a loan for the reason mentioned above and also, because it is rare if not impossible to get a loan for a business that deals in speculation (especially without a proven track record). He also brings up a great point in that wholesaling is difficult. I agree with him that becoming a real estate agent is a more via able option.

I disagree with him in the aspect of not starting an LLC. Having an LLC provides a ton of tax advantages (Speak with a professional CPA that deals in Real Estate for that). They are a couple of hundred dollars to start and more than pay for themselves come tax time.

If you are going to be a wholesaler, I wish you good luck and success. If you are good at it, you can make a lot of money and every investor will want to be friends with you. As far as funding to assist getting you off the ground at such a young age, here are a couple of idea's. 1. Talk to family about your dreams and see if any would be interested in investing in you or even partnering. 2. Apply for a credit card to cover the cost until you can close a deal or two.

Make sure you do your research about the wholesaling career path.

Best Wishes,

Tim

@Kyle Baxter

What phase of the foreclosure process are you finding the deals? 1st phase (Short Sale)? 2nd phase (Auction at the Court House Steps)? or 3rd phase (REO - bank owned)?

Short Sales & REO's: Do you have any houses under contract? If so, I would like to have lunch and discuss

Auction: What auction & or title company are you using to do the title searches through to make sure potential properties are in first lien position?

How are you estimating ARV and renovation cost? Are you able to get into the properties?

Renovation:

Are you a General Contractor? Do you have any examples of your work?
