I tend to agree with Mindy. Wholesaling involves a steep learning curve, it's time consuming and hard work! From what I gather so far from your posts, you seem to be on the right track in regard to acquiring knowledge in investing before anything. Knowledge is king in real estate! I suggest heavier concentration on types of contracts and negotiating profitable deals. I believe, that's your 1st order of business. Your 2nd order of business is to find that experienced well established JV wholesaler that you can share information freely with and work in unison. To find properties, I agree with Brandon, at the start of this thread, who suggested "Driving For Dollar" -You'd be locating ugly houses functioning as a bird-dog. When you're right outside of the ugly house you just found, simply write on a sticky color post-let, "I am interested in buying your home, please call me at...) and stick one onto their front door and one onto their garage door. When you get back home, check owners' mailing address and if different from the house address, send them a handwritten letter too. Keep at it. Your JV wholesaler will also guide you with what has worked in your market. Good luck!
