With your background in architectural design, you're already ahead of the game in understanding spaces and their potential!

Real estate is a LONG game and a good way to build wealth through equity.

As someone focused on wholesaling and sourcing distressed properties both on-market and off-market I’m always looking to align with investors, agents, and other fix-and-flippers who are actively in the game.

Hi @Shan Randall,Welcome to BP and congrats on stepping back into the landlord game!

It seems we are facing a similar problem; real estate is not just a numbers game, which is contrary to the thinking of most investors.

I am new to the real estate game and got my foot in the door by purchasing my first property as a live in renovation.

This also may be a good way to get an in working for someone with more experience since being a new wholesaler who doesn't even know where to start makes it very hard to start.Also, don't start telling people you are a wholesaler before you have marketing going out, a small buyer's list, and at least one property locked up because everyone wants to be a wholesaler, but it's not actionable until you are in the game.

Throw in a few nice touches, like coffee or board games, to wow your guests.Keep extra linens, cleaning supplies, and essentials like toilet paper handy so turnovers are quick and easy.

They wouldn't have any skin in the game and could just walk away and leave you high and dry if things go wrong with the property.

I’ve been at this game for two decades, and I’ve found that every deal is a bit like brewing a custom cup of coffee.. you tweak the beans, the grind, and the brew time until it’s just right.
