I recently heard a remarkable story of a wholesaler claiming they picked up a house for 32,000 and then turned around and flipped it to a contractor for 54,000 within a span of 10 days.The story is true; which leads me to my question-how exactly do you get someone to sell you their house for half of what its apparently worth?

You can pick up cheaper ones for three hundred bucks.

@Andrew Cosby - I'm an investor looking to pick up properties in the NWA area. 

Many of the up and coming neighborhoods have been picked over by wholesalers as well as homeowners asking inflated prices based on the hype surrounding these areas.  

So why don't you expert guys stop picking apart others deals and provide a little HELP.  

I have looked at some deals on Loop Net, however want to connect with a seasoned veteran who can assure me I’m picking up a good deal while assisting with the purchase.

If you want passive investment and you have another job, pick option #2.If you are itching to get involved in a property, be hands on, and take responsibility, take option #1.Starting out, you will soon discover than owning 2 to 4 units is just a side gig. 

Pick up the phone and start calling.There's a few ideas.

Eventually you will be able to learn and start getting deals in, plus you get to pick which part of real estate you like.Reach out if you need help with anything!

They’re all fine cities - you just need to pick one & focus!
