Forcing appreciation on properties requiring work is a longer term goal but I’d like to start with a simpler project.  

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?

@Michael Challenger glad you are making the BIG step and starting your 1st flip.

I think seasonality is starting earlier, but if people are starting this early, ahead of inventory bottoming, we could have a pretty crazy spring. 

Being clear about what you want to do from the start not only helps you stay on track, but it also makes it easier to spot problems or delays before they happen.I totally agree that talking to people is important.

I rather start small and scale it Ok, I get it!

The house had the utilities turned off for the 6 years, and was filled with the original 1 owner's furniture, clothes, appliances, car and ecn food in the frig (without elctric on for 6 years). 

My name is Christian and I'm excited to be here as I start on my journey into real estate wholesaling, specifically in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

So really need to do some deep market research, haha, but not so willing to pay for this, at least not at this stage when I'm just starting out.

@Rachel Hadass what a great group you’ve started!
