Many are just following the practices they’ve been taught (although if you choose dishonesty, some responsibility does lie with you too).For any wholesalers interested in learning how we approach wholesaling ethically, just let me know, and I’ll gladly share a detailed post on it here.

I checked out ab968, looks like pre / foreclosures might be a good way to go if I can find them. thanks everyone for the responses, really great info. im actually starting to see more deals on properties in need of renovation so I’m hopeful I’ll be able to find some good flips when I’m ready to pull the trigger

It includes everything you have asked for.I could also connect it to other booking engines like Booking.com and TripAdvisor, but have not set them up.Customer service is wonderful, and they are always super-responsive with any requests I have.The only gripe I have with it would be their website templates, should you want to build your direct-booking site directly through them.

Meetups + books + podcasts are the way to go, but meetups are the most crucial to your confidence level and to know people like you do this every day.I agree with @Nathan Gesner on the heads up, when you say you are new and want help, everyone has a pitch, that's why meetups are so good - most have no pitch, just networking, unless it's run by a hard money lender.I have a couple friends who invest in the Lehigh Valley that I can connect you with when the time comes.

I appreciate your response.
