Quote from @Martin Jones: YouTube gurus will tell you to borrow money from someone else, but that's bad advice for a beginner.

I’ve been thinking about partnering with a successful wholesaler and seeing if they will expand their operation to include the zip codes I am interested in.Example:  I would like to partner and give money to a successful Detroit or Texas wholesaler and see if they are willing to add my Georgia target market to their operations.Before moving forward, I wanted to get some feedback and advice from those who are wholesalers or who have partnered with wholesalers.Has anyone ever heard or have experience in a partnership like this? 

We plan to make money on the properties.

Make everything neutral (decor and lighting) and get new pics.  

I think my main pain point is underwriting the property as it is and then seeing what it could be and then making decisions on if it's worth and how those decisions are made.  

If you're still interested, take a trip to the site once ground has been broken.The flashy marketing material for a new development is great, but don't put your money at risk for something that's likely to vaporize.

All good, he got the job and started on May, 10, 2018.To make a long story short. 

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

Making money was a bonus because I live here.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Even if one has to provide the education to some of the parties as to why a particular creative solution makes a win-win-win for all.
