Post: Wholesaling Contracts and Driving For Dollars???

Hello BiggerPockets Community,

I’m Zach Rumfield, and I’m just starting my journey in wholesaling. While driving for dollars, I’ve come across a neighborhood that’s older but is surrounded by new construction. It has many distressed homes, and I believe this area holds great potential due to its location just outside the city. However, I’m not sure how to determine if it’s truly a good place to focus on. Once I build a list of prospective homes, what steps should I take to identify which homeowners might be interested in selling?

Additionally, I’ve been working on getting a solid purchase agreement and assignment contract. I’ve used ChatGPT to draft both, but I’d appreciate any advice on how to ensure these contracts are legally sound and ready to use with sellers and buyers.

Thank you for your time and guidance!

Respectfully,
Zach Rumfield

Zach Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?
Having a solid team around you like agent, lender, contractors etc.—will be key to success!!

Welcome Caden,

I am in the same boat as you. I am new to investing and looking to start as a wholesaler in Houston. I am educating myself as much as possible but I tend to be an analysis paralysis type of person so I want to make sure I dive in to the action as well. Would love to connect with you and hear about your journey thus far. 

Best of Luck,

Zach Rumfield

Welcome to Houston Phil,

I am a newer investor looking to start with wholesaling in Houston. Its great to see another out-of-towner investor moving to Houston! I would love to connect with you and see how your transition from the midwest to Texas has been so far. 

Best regards,

Zach Rumfield

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

My name is Zach Rumfield, and I’m new to real estate and wholesaling. I’m currently based in the Houston market, looking to build connections with wholesalers, investors, agents, and others in the industry.

A little about me: I’m 25 years old, originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, and I now live in the Memorial area of Houston with my wonderful fiancée and our Maltipoo puppy. I’m a former college baseball player and retired professional ballroom dancer, with a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate investment. I’m also a big enthusiast for health and wellness, always striving to improve myself and learn more.

If anyone in the Houston market would like to connect or has any advice for someone just starting out, I’d love to hear from you!

Best regards,
Zach Rumfield
