, the assignment aspect of wholesaling appeals to me.So, let's get started!

Quote from @Nicholas Goerss: Hello all,I am getting ready to start looking at lender for my second conventional mortgage to buy my second property.

Now I have to find a good brokerage to start off with.

I have found that I will need more networking to build the team necessary to make it a reality.

Food for thought for me and you : If you where to start all the way from zero in wholesaling, how would you rebuild going back up?

I have saved up some money but my goal is to save up at least 20k in a year before I start looking for options on house hacking in a duplex.

The only real difference is when you start collecting rent after purchase.How have you weighed this against the probability of tenant nonperformance?

I have seen people buy non-existant properties, bottom of lake (literally underwater), slivers of land too narrow or small to do anything, Army bombing range, expired leases, cell tower now removed, property with 30 year lease and prepaid rent for 30 years, condemned buildings, toxic waste sites, land under railroad tracks, cliffs, landlocked property, wetlands, flood zone, unbuildable property, endangered species habitat, ....I have three rules for buying at Tax Sale:1.

If you have the sellers, the buyers will start reaching out - it likely wont work for some of them and then you can ask what they are looking for and build relationships that way.

Looking to get started.
