Wholesaling does sound like something I would be interested in once I have my foundation laid. I am actually in sales at this point in my career, still construction but I look at blueprints all day and sell. Haven't swung a hammer in quite a while. 

I was extremely excited out of the gate and I think I just beat myself down with information and I found some discouragement. 

Thanks for the advice and help here. I want to get involved in the AZREIA asap so I can start getting to know the industry from people who are intimately involved. Just need to keep adding gas to the fire right now! 

There is an issue with using a HELOC for my first deal. My wife and I agreed together that we would NOT fund our first deal by tying its success and/or failure to our family home. It's not off the table in the future, just off the table for the first deal.

So, I have read and read and read... I've listened to the audio books and podcasts. Here is where I sit... I am almost to the point where I feel less ready then I was when I first started and was "ready" to jump in head first.

Being from a construction background, I want to get into fix and flips but the more I learn the more I find I am not in a position financially to even take the first step and that is such a demoralizing place to be. I am incredibly afraid to spend 5k to 10k on marketing to trying and locate my first deal when I am not all that well equipped to land that deal should one present itself. 

Spotting value is something I am naturally good at which is a bonus. This has been true my whole life in almost every walk in life. The house I live in now was bout 3 years ago and after about 4 months of ownership it went up in value 35% and is currently worth more than double what I paid. This eye for value is something I have always been good at but I dont even know where to START looking. 

Here is the endless cycle I have myself in - How do I find a deal? How do I fund the deal? Do I find a deal that try to fund it? Do I get funding and find a deal that fits the funding? Which do I do first? 

if your credit card limits can handle it and your rates are low... that is a great way because the money is immediately available. This method assumes you make a profit and turn around and pay the credit card dept as soon as the deal is done. Just my opinion

I realize this is an old post... but I cannot figure out how to download the file. Is it gone now? 

Found BP because I attended a Fortune Builders 3-day seminar (day three is tomorrow) and decided to dive into their credibility a bit and it led me here. I look forward to getting to know people here and learning from everyone's experience.
