Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.
