I think it does have a lot to do with real estate.... i tried the Lease Option path, had some deals setup, didn't fall through, and instead i turned into a virtual bird dog with a funnel system... and i like it.... no calls, no emails to be read, simply fill out their form and it goes directly to the person who would handle all of the inquiries. Rather getting paid per lead, i just receive a flat fee.... truly hands off after setting up.... but there are some people who enjoy the physical aspect of bird dogging (ie calling, setting up ads etc) which is fine, but i prefer setting up a squeeze page and maintenance.

And to answer your question about what am i going to do in real estate so i can stop working for others..... haven't really decided a true RE path yet, but as of now, i am enjoying my virtual bird dog tour im taking ^_^

Sorry i apologize, what i meant was.... a real estate investor/agent signed a contract with me so i could make his website and lead page, and he pays me 1K per month to maintain and do maintenance. So pretty much he wanted people to sign up on his site if they were buying or selling a property and it would go straight to him. I havent had the contract for a year, i just signed for 1 year.

With that, a lot of these people who do this type of online marketing try to charge a very high price which i would like to say to ALL Investors/Property Managers/Agents/Wholesalers there is no reason to pay an exponential amount of money to have a website+maintenance. HEED CAUTION

The contract doesnt limit me to anything it was just a contract laying out the details for his website/costs and so on.

Greetings Biggerpockets Members! Its been a while and BOY has it been a good thing! (Minus missing everyones recent success) Ok, Let me get down to it.

Biggerpockets is the website that saved me from buying a "get 100000 in 2 hours while flipping homes" (you know what i mean lol) course for 3999.97.... l never forget that and i am thankful that BP taught me... you can find anything online for FREE (information wise) and i learned so much.

Anyways... i started off meeting a friend and GREAT person of mine Chris Luithly (BP Member) and he taught me so much about Lease Options and Other REI oppurtunities. I had a few Potential deals but they never fell through. So what did i do? i gave up.... truly i did... and was about to enlist in the Army (again) but i found some information out. A friend told me he is a successful online marketer for RE (amongst other things) and i should give it a try. SO hey WHY NOT? No investment, no nothing, just get out there, meet an investor, and make his site and blog appear on google as number 1, and the leads will come in naturally.... SO long story short, he taught me how to do it, and i got my FIRST contract to be a Virtual Birddog funnel System for him @ 1k per month!!! I was extatic!!!

*I didnt have to call anybody
*I didnt send out letters

It was ALL virtual!! And recurring!!

And it all started here, just being creative, and the snowball accummulated.... He gets the calls and deals, i set him up online and its a TRUE win win situation.


So you may be asking, What does this have to do with RE Success!! Well... Im a virtual bird dog, who set up a site, which in turn brings calls and emails to Him and HIS site! So instead of him paying me a bd fee, i just take a flat rate and DANG right IM HAPPY!!!

Thank you biggerpockets for everything!! I will continue to post my other success storys as more deals like this come in! I do have a few in the works and THIS....IS.....AWESOME!!!!!

Welcome @Eric Kartman!! I recently started here in Fort Wayne not to long ago and I am wet behind the ears but I HIGHLY advise talking to Chris Luithly! He will steer you in the right direction! We should meet up sometime as well! Inbox me on here for my email address! Happy Wholesaling!

GREETINGS BP Community!

Wow I want to first start by saying this website is AWESOME. I learn so much every day! a little about myself, I am 22, and my family has called me crazy for my dream of becoming a Wholesaler, I have just relocated to Fort Wayne, Indiana, after moving from the lovely country of Korea (Military Service) and now I am wanting to start up my investment career. I have been reading and studying this lovely career for about a year now and I am wondering a few things.

Personally, do any of you recommend starting with a mentor? Or just trial and error and jump head first in? I have been trying to find a mentor for about 3 months now and I have had no success. I mean I am a hard worker, great listener, and highly discliplined, I can shadow and I even offered for 70% cut on my end to the mentor when flipping the first few houses. Also, if you live close to my area can you send me a PM so we can talk that would be great. And even if you dont live close it would be nice to connect abroad.

What are some results of your first few months of wholesaling? How hard was it actually? And did you have a mentor?

Any replys would be great thank you

God bless America
