Since the line is not up and running yet, I had to borrow some money from a family member that doesn't even want a dime in interest. 

I've taken his coaching. hands down worth every dime.

The reality is that youll find a ton of deals in your cell phone and not have to spend a dime on any of the above mentioned marketing ideas if you would just call your friends and family and ask who they know who needs to sell. 

We have the ability to turn on a dime when we need to make changes. :)Sharon

I could probably get $315-$325K listing it on MLS without having to put a dime into it (very strong seller's market in my area right now).It all seems pretty easy... a little TOO easy -- especially for my first deal. 

I know 98% of wholesalers will look at this post and think (or say) 'he doesn't know squat...' but I contend if those 98% actually made a dime wholesaling, they would learn quickly that using "investing" methods (exchanges, installment sales, depreciation allowance, etc.) will not work for IRS non-investment transactions.

Because of wholesaling, I find deals 95% below market value (Bought a house for 5K)I bought a ready to put on market house that is valued at 320K for less than 70% below market value with about 10K of repair cots (keep an eye out in the success story section within a month or 2).Because of wholesaling, is my website stronger than most sites here.Because of wholesaling am I WICKED tough and strong.Because of WS am I a MASTER marketer, negotiator and superior deal finder.Because of WS, am I now flipping 3 houses, and have 1 more under contract.I started with wholesaling and because I'm really good at it, am I better than the average investor that never succeeded in wholesaling.Wholesaling gives you the NUMBER 1 skill you NEED playing this investing game.Finding seriously below market deals without having to spend a dime getting these deals.So  again, when someone asks you  in a disapproval way WHY?
