Quote from @Doug Spence:
@Tyler Jorgensen Find someone in your area that is doing what you want to do (in this case, wholesaling) and find a way to provide value without expecting anything in return.
The key is to figure out what their problem is, and find a way to solve that problem. Don't just say "I want to help, how can I help" because now you've created more work for them, because they have to figure out what you can do for them. Make it easy for you to provide value to him/her! Before you know it, you'll become a person of tremendous value, and they will want you to be on their team. Or you'll learn that wholesaling isn't right for you and you can move on to the next thing!
Thanks for the advice. I've reached out and it sounds like I can only find one other wholesaler who's actually new to it also haha. Maybe that's a good sign but thankfully I've found a few investors to talk to next week.
For someone like me, who doesn't have money but does have some time (not a ton), I'm not sure what to talk to the investors about. I've never actually tried a wholesale deal yet. Do you think it would be a good start to have a couple houses I could show them so I show motivation? Do you think it would be a good idea to get onto Propstream or something and start calling? I was curious if I'd be able to call some realters and tell them of my interest in some homes that have been on the MLS for a while.
