My step mom is a massage therapist and she wants to open her own business. 

Sincerely,Ken Ken-I don’t have any steps or advise, although I too have looked into this myself.If you have an attorney and CPA it might be good to begin with them to find out the pros/cons of doing this. 

I know of five methods that, have varying %'s of success:1 - Crystal Ball = 20%2 - Ouija Board = 21%3 - Palm Reader = 22% +/-4 - Card Reader = 22 - 23%5 - Fortune Teller = 25% (but I think they're just more experienced at guessing)...or, you can just do a really good analysis...and hope for the best.

I used the BRRR method.

Happy that you are taking the steps and jumping into action.

Most of the questions here are from folks who've already taken their first steps by reading, and determining what type of real estate investor they want to be. 

I know there are other methods to obtaining a deal and wholesaling It on the back end like double closing or JV but all situations are different of course and not all wholesalers prefer to JV and split profits.

I’d also like to know what’s the first steps after getting your real estate licenses?

It would be good to know the seller motivation, if it is an older investor that property manages as well he/she may just want to step away from the day to day and could be okay with owner finance (OF). 

Seems like an easy first step.
