Many wholesalers now are just doing robo calling and trying to get folks on the phone I get one to two of those a day.. most I don't talk to some times I will .. many of these are using off shore call centers so semi broken English reading form a script.. but they produce leads.. its just like buying a car.. the sales guy ( telemarketer) then hands you off to the closer.. then you have the I buyers backed by wads of VC money big advertising budgets and super sophisticated web sites that spit out automated offers.. the business is changing no doubt.. and there is no doubt like Will Bernard stated its probably the toughest thing in real estate to master ergo 9 out of 10 never get past first base.. 

I only have a single credit card used for car rentals on occasion since I Don't drive because of too poor eyesight to get a DL, so sometimes if I want to go away I ask a friend to drive and I pay for the car.

I know a lot of people who say they want freedom, but in reality they want wealth...For example, you can achieve freedom by purchasing a very cheap property, paying it off quickly, moving in, and then building enough cash flow to pay for the basics -- food, clothes, used car, insurance, etc.That would give you freedom from having to work for someone else...The problem is, most people want more than that -- they want a nice house, a couple cars, good food, vacations, toys/gadgets, etc.

As a wholesaler, I've been compared to a used car salesman...

Implement automated approaches to your efforts (ie websites, squeeze pages).Don't forget simple things like bandit signs and car magnets too.

I locked it in contract, and sold my interest in that contract for 3k plus I had the guy throw in a fresh rebuilt race engine/ transmission that he just finished for a car.

I went thru a phase in my life where I used to have a mental block about buying cars.

Yeah my cousin was telling his wife to buy that new car she wanted and today I guess he has to explain that "You can't all ways get what you want", LOL.But I know her (she is good at what she does, she will pucker him up for the kill even if he lost $15,000) and she will pobably reply to him "But if you try sometime you just might find you get what you need", LOL!

I work as a race car mechanic in the Grand Am Road Racing series in the Daytona Prototype division (we were formerly a Trans Am team), and I'm getting married in 7 days (May 28th) in Vegas!

I am also REALLY into cars and 99% of what I learned about tuning them and all that stuff I learned in forums and then went out and DID it.
