Welcome to the real estate industry, and congratulations on starting your wholesaling adventure.This journey will be both challenging and rewarding, offering you countless opportunities to learn and grow.

I’ve worked in the RE industry in the past so I’m no stranger to it, though I’m not an agent.My general approach is to 1) get pre-approved on FHA loan and 2) work with an agent to find off-market deals willing to work with FHA process.Open to any advice, but here’s some specific questions:Advice on general approach?

The atmosphere was buzzing with energy as industry professionals mingled, shared insights, and forged new partnerships.

But yeah you are 100% right I haven’t been in the industry for that long but I do like it lol.

Too much demand chasing too little "retail" ready supply (Hello Economics 101).           2.

And then I'm keeping the smaller ones and doing some bigger ones (3bedroom 2,000 to 2,400 sq ft) that will remain as holds.Keep in mind that as a builder my cost basis is better than people paying retail. 

I would love to work with someone in the industry that would be willing to provide an educational experience in exchange for sweat equity.

Unfortunately retail vacancy is at a historic low.

I need as little out of my pocket as possible here.  75% of ARV is the industry standard.

Both have advantages and disadvantages.As someone who thrives on new industries, I love seeing them come to town.
