However, I haven’t found many examples of people doing this in that area.

It’s great to see people with an eagerness to grow in real estate wholesaling.

I've been at this since 1988 and have seen them go wonderfully well and horribly wrong.

I can understand how a wholesaler would find some deals (I've heard some podcasts about that, essentially they're hitting the pavement) but I wonder how "investors" and "realtors" find properties if they are not using MLS/Zillow/Redfin? 

I learned that you can really help good people in really unfortunate situations.

Possibly just some carpet and paint type of properties at the beginning until you get to know more people out there.

I'm all about doing Subject To, sometimes called SubTo, and teaching people how, but I spend a lot of my time talking about the downside for places like AZ, CA, FL, and TX.

People are losing money.

I’m especially interested in value-add opportunities where I can renovate and increase equity.I’m here to learn from experienced investors, connect with like-minded people, and share my journey along the way.

I'm just new to this world and wonder what someone with some experience would do.
