I’m recently started getting into wholesaling but HAVEN’T gotten my first deal (IT ONLY TAKES ONE DEAL TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE-Max Maxwell), I’ve been driving for dollars & calling people, listening/ watching podcast/videos & reading books so I’m taking action.

Home buying and wholesaling is not about quick cash.

Wholesalers:Columbus has an active wholesaling market.

I have wholesaled properties.

I was wondering if any wholesale investors in the Edmonton area could help me get started? maybe meet up to discuss business? I'm willing to give a percentage of all the contract deals I can get in 30 days. I'm just h...

I always recommend starting in your own market first, then go out of town, then out of state, but I understand California is expensive.If you need to create cash, wholesaling is the best alternativeIf you have some cash, then maybe do a few flix and flips to build your cash reserves.If you have cash saved, yes you can buy a rental in other markets, but you need to research and create your list of contacts in that marketYou can always buy a fixer upper, then refinance, and repeat, you can do that with favorable rates up to 10 times using loans for a secondary/investment home

Sound advice and recommendations for those who have experience in wholesaling and buy and hold investing are welcomed!

Subject to deals are not for wholesaling.

Rentals create cash flow, and that's what we want as real estate investors, but you need cash on hand for unforeseen circumstances.The AC needs to be replaced, that's $7K to $10K or more depending on the size of the house and if you have one rental, it will eat all your cash flow, same to replace a roof, etc, or if tenant trash the home, you need money to fix it again.To me personally a nice rental portfolio that is healthy consists about 10 units, so if you have an issue with a house the portfolio can cover the repairs and still healthy, but when starting you need to have cash on hand just in caseYes, there are multiple strategies you can use to hack your way to buy your first rental with minimum cash, but I would start wholesaling or fix and flip a few deals to create that cash as fast as possible

I have partner 50/50 with new flippers, but they put half the money into acquiring the house and repairs, and I pay the other half but I use my crew to do the flip. the other person needs to have skin in the property otherwise, I just pay them a wholesaling fee.I recommend starting by using a hard money lender, as they will take risks when someone is new, and they won't lend you the money unless they feel confident the deal is good. so you are confident you can be successful.you may pay some hight interest rates, and points, but at least you know you may make money at the end
