I’m going to be 18 soon so I’ve been preparing myself with knowledge of real estate investing and what it’s gonna be lookin like I want to know from seasoned players in the game where I can start taking steps toward to make something happen soon or near future.

Wholesalers are historically unreliable, maybe 2 in 10 are actual volume players, with the other 80% being inconsistent. 

I really appreciate you taking the time to bring up newer players like myself.

The fact he is doing it himself and he needs $5,000 from you to get the deal done tells me he is not much of a player and is quite amateurish.

I have now tailored my job search to be much more residential-based and one that allows me to be a bigger player in the company.

In my market the tax sales have power players with fat CASH.

Cap rates are compressed low inventory of available properties (some brokers saying that as soon as they get a listing it is already spoken for) and some large players continuing to build large luxury apartment complexes that are trading at high amounts once they stabilize. 

Whether it's Buffet, Bezos or any of the bigger players in real estate, nobody slows down when they reach financial freedom. 

If the realtor is in then he can identify many if not all of the other players in your team.
