Hi Yasha. Welcome to BP. The best way to find out what sellers want is to ask them. We are in a relationship business. Start analyzing properties and talking to owners. Don't start with the offer. Start with the questions. The answers will tell you how to frame the offer in a way that benefits everyone.

@JohnVo All wholesalers are not created equally. You're right. Neither of those deals is particularly attractive. However, I know wholesalers who generate deals at 75% ARV with no repairs needed and rent of $1400. Keep networking. Even in this heated up market, deals are out there.

Welcome, Robert. I'm also new. All the new information can give you vapor lock. Go to networking events. Talk to people. You'll find that some of the things you think will be hard are actually easy. Find deals. We all want deals.

Welcome, Juan. I bet you feel like your head is about to explode with all the new knowledge. I agree with Michelle. Get out there and network as soon as possible. It'll help you synthesize the information and get moving.

Welcome, Erin. Welcome to BP.

I also operate on the north side, but my focus is the I-69 corridor (Humble, Kingwood). I'm just getting started and am always looking for folks with whom to network. For networking groups, I highly recommend Houston Real Deal. It's a bit of a drive but well worth it.

I'll send you a colleague request.
