@Jason Tefft Yes Ankeny is a great area, but the flip or BRRR deals I've seen there are 190-250K and purchased with cash so you have to have both the financing and be willing to pay a bit higher price point than other parts of the metro.Obviously, Ankeny is growing like crazy, but I'm just not sure the BRRRR or flipping model is best suited for Ankeny, you might find more success in Des Moines Proper areas unless you have a reason to buy in Ankeny, those deals will be VERY tight and very far and few between.Also regarding wholesalers, agree 100% I haven't seen a "good deal" from a wholesaler email in over 18 months and I'm the odd real estate agent that subscribes to ALL the wholesaler email lists :)

I still use this and have had no problems with it.I manually set my prices with minimal effort so I don't subscribe to any pricing software.

If you are licensed and aren't the listing agent or subscribed to an IDX feed to your website, you can't share other people's listings.

So you can start out as just someone who subscribes to a system and gets educated by being part of a team, and you'll do fine if you're willing to take the time to get educated, just like you would in a school.
