Seems like everyone wants to wholesale here - The competition is really high - I dont really wholesale unless it makes sense for everyone but my advice would be to try and hit the lists that arent already super flooded ( pre foreclosure, vacant, etc.) 

Once your pre-approval is finalized, evaluate each property by inspecting it, confirming the rehab scope, and making offers based on realistic numbers.Drago

I have spent the last few years working in the Pre-Fab ADU space and now working with a company called Live Near Friends and help people buy real estate with the purpose of living closer to the people they care about. 

Pre '2010', maybe just maybe it will lean heavier on the fundamental mechanics than specific processes. 

I have looked into buying (pre) foreclosed homes, underwriting houses that have been on the market for over 45 days, and other methods because I cannot sleep without thinking of a plan to buy my first property.

I'm currently pre-approved but my lender gave me a "mid-level rate" which I believe isn't my actual rate since I haven't chosen a property but me not being as educated on the behalf and thinking it was my actual rate I decided to rate shop a bit.

$60k profit pre-tax.

I started listening to the podcast and reading real estate books about two months ago, and I’m excited to take my first step into real estate investing.I’m currently in Spokane, WA, and I’m pre-approved for a loan.

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

Sometimes they have a pre-determined amount they are willing to share, sometimes they say they are willing to pay but the amount must be negotiated.
