Even if I want to put it under contract and wholesale it... what should I do??

Hello, I am a young and new real estate wholesaling investor (so new that I havent done any deals yet), and what Im looking for is someone in the chicago area (I live in Elgin), who has done at least a couple of wholesale deals, and can meet with me personally and help me learn the ropes, and get a couple of deals under my belt before I go completley solo.I'm not sure if this is where you would post something like this, but it seemed to be the best that I could think of.I have been looking into real estate and researching it for about 5 or 6 months now, and I feel confident enough to where I would like to get in the game, but like I said...not solo right away.

How can I find the financing available to acquire all these great deals in my area in order to wholesale it.

He currently has the property listed with a realtor and I'm thinking what I can do is wholesale the deal since the realtor is working on a shortsale with the property already.

Figure the value of the property, take the age and sex of the owner, and plug it into the web site to see what an equivalent annuity would pay.

So to be safe we used $115k as an ARV to structure a wholesale deal around.

The foreclosure market - subject to and wholesale.

But does anyone see any problems if I just ran an ad or posted a sign simply saying "Wholesaler seeking buyers"?

(in fact 75% of them come off the MLS.)I am buy and hold, so I never wholesale anything.

I am a wholesale coach/mentor.
