@Sekelle O.

I love your response in spite of  @David Faulkner 's somewhat pessimistic (even if it may be realistic and frank) reply. 

David I think you made a ton of very good points especially regarding legality and morality, but I think you may be a little overly critical of wholesaling. As I reread, it seems you are mostly pointing at people thinking it is easier than it is - which I can see to be true. 

Based on your critical view on wholesaling, would you say it is EVER a good idea to begin wholesaling? 

Ben Valentin Keith Scott Why not mail to the leads you found right when you get home from driving?

I took a second and drew up a sheet which lays out and averages comparable homes.

It's very simply, but can be improved upon by anyone who has any ideas.

Tell me what you like or hate about it!

Hey! Welcome buddy. You mentioned you primarily want to do buy and hold or a small flip. What ZIP codes are you interested in?

MOTIVATED TO LEARN AND PUT IN WORK

I can take your work load off. Running comparables, drafting letters, answering calls, making spreadsheets, branding your business, driving for leads; I can do it for you. 

Hi my name is Tyler. I'm 18 and have a whole summer to devote entirely to WORKING FOR YOU! Immediately, I will provide you value: I have access to the MRIS. I can do all of the aforementioned tasks on top of whatever I'm trained to do. I will learn anything quickly and WILL TAKE ACTION!

I WILL NOT WORK FOR FREE! MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE! 

No, this is not me. I have time and effort for a mentor to make good use of. Steer me in the right direction and I'll make you money! 

ALL I REQUIRE IS YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND MENTORING!

Looking primarily to work under rehabbers, wholesalers, or agents! I am limited in range of daily driving by about 25 miles of ZIP: 20832, but will make things work in extenuating circumstances. 

LET'S MAKE SOMETHING GREAT HERE!

William C. Yes this is an MLS listed property. You're correct that MLS deals are harder to secure for a good price because of the exposure the MLS provides. You may not be the only one aware of the property and interested in it. Getting into a bidding war probably will end in the "deal" that the property once was being destroyed. However, a deal is a deal whether it's listed or not! If the price is right it's worth the time to at least try to put in an offer. If the house has been on the market for two days then it might be less attractive than a deal that's been sitting for 180 days. All in all, I have more time than money, so I check the MLS as well as any other source I can. No doubt in the future I might leave the MLS behind in favor of scaling business up; putting a stronger emphasis on mailings. Thanks

Eric Jan Would be happy to keep you in the loop on any properties that come my attention. Go ahead and send a colleague request to me so we can talk more in private. Thanks you.

If you could go back to being 18, having only $500, what would you do to put yourself on the path to sustainable success? Would you drive for dollars? Cold call? Buy a mailing list? Buy $500 worth of books? Imagine this is your situation and you have blank slate. What would you do?

Andrew Michael Glad business is good. Comforting to know there are those out there having success around here. I am admittedly within that 99% you mentioned, but not for long! Are you primarily a wholesaler currently?

Brian Pendergraft Charles Parrish Awesome responses guys. Thank you for the great stuff!
