Hello, I am a young and new real estate wholesaling investor (so new that I havent done any deals yet), and what Im looking for is someone in the chicago area (I live in Elgin), who has done at least a couple of wholesale deals, and can meet with me personally and help me learn the ropes, and get a couple of deals under my belt before I go completley solo.I'm not sure if this is where you would post something like this, but it seemed to be the best that I could think of.I have been looking into real estate and researching it for about 5 or 6 months now, and I feel confident enough to where I would like to get in the game, but like I said...not solo right away.

Since we don't manufacture anything to speak of other than weapons, WE DON'T HAVE AN ECONOMY.Tighten your belts folks, and please keep your hands and arms inside the car at all times.

But they already had the experience and contacts under their belt.

While I think there are probably many reasons why one would buy an REI at a break even cash flow, I believe that I need to start slow and get a few wins under my belt before going there.Thanks again for the education,

Sounds like you have a ton of RE Experience and knowledge under your belt.

After you get a couple under your belt, you'll have a much better idea of what things cost.

My newest tenants had the belt break on the dryer after 2 weeks of occupancy.

For example:I picked up a Vortec T trim blower with all supporting mods for $3,000 (retails close to $9,000)from a guy who blow his motor up after a week of putting it together.

Your goal should be to follow the profit, not search for a notch to your belt.

I'm fairly new having only 1 deal under my belt.
