thats pretty amazingJoe Liu thanks also for those words. i think Zillow maybe off so I will use the sites you mentioned and do some more footwork and see where that gets me!

Sounds like you have done some great footwork in learning about real estate and your goals!  

I live in the dalles and may be willing to do some foot work for ya. 

Where do I start my foot work when it comes to wholesale real estate? 

As an aspiring multifamily real estate investor,  your story is encouraging and does not include any fancy footwork - just the way I like it. 

I am not afraid of a little footwork but I would rather utilize an established organization's resources and get a broader scope of data than what I could do on my own. 

Yup I agree.We invest in both Stockton and Sacramento (14 - 40 MF units) and there are value-add off-market deals to be had, just takes a good amount of footwork to find and close on them. 

(you can do the calc yourself for your actual situation)you will realize that 12,000 probably took only a few hours total of mentor's time in the whole transaction, while you were doing all the footwork either as listing or buyer's agent. most of the information is already in the study materials you've had--the nuances can be learned from you actually going out there; even if they spent 24 hours total on you, you're paying them 500/hr.of course, it's ultimately down to the details.

Jerry Puckett, I used to work for a market research company, and i have spent hours upon hours driving for dollars. i know what it means to make call after call to get a prospect, and i am willing to put in the footwork when necessary.

So I decided to try the foot work myself to purchase.
