This is a hard one for people to work with since a lot of investors that do not have a lot of experience do not want to get a deal, not know the full rehab, and fear that they will lose the deal/EMD. 

I am particularly interested in:Understanding the fundamentals of wholesalingNavigating Texas-specific real estate laws and regulationsBuilding a strong network of cash buyers and motivated sellersLearning effective marketing strategiesAnalyzing and evaluating dealsIf anyone is willing to share their experiences, tips, or resources, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also looking to connect with local investors throughout the Lehigh Valley to learn, share our experiences, and partner up.

The information shared is based on my experience and industry knowledge and should not be considered legal, financial, or investment advice.

The underwriting process is certainly more arduous than most acquisitions but through my personal experiences some of the lenders are far more knowledgeable about the requirements and make for a far easier process for both seller and buyer.

Unlike cash buyers or those with extensive experience in the market, many younger buyers are still navigating the mortgage process while actively house hunting.

I doubt I would hand the whole thing over to a developer, as I'm inclined to use the experience as a stepping stone in my career. 

I chose to invest most of those gains into a trucking company due to the lack of patience at the time and my 10 year experience being a tractor trailer w-2 driver.

If so what was the experience like.Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Both options have pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, experience, and long-term goals.
