Seeking advice on wholesaling real estate
10 January 2025 | 2 replies
Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!
