Yes, the occasional deal does fall in your lap, but the fact is, wholesalers put in much time and effort to find deals.A great starting point to finding deals has already been mentioned, driving for dollars.

Occasionally I will do this if I am not doing anything at the moment but usually I will decline..but then when I really want something..

Occasionally, you may find MLS properties (or other retail websites) listed at 70% ARV, though they are generally listed higher and you need to negotiate the price down.

Paying for memberships to clubs, subscriptions, buying an occasional CD set so you can listen as you drive (Drive time is a great time for education not listening to TUNES).Now if the 25K is talking about learning from mistakes while investing, then yes I know I have lost more than 25K on deals (be it real money or lost profits) but I learned from those mistakes and don't make them anymore.

-Putting out Bandit signs (occasionally investors will call me looking for properties) -Calling other Bandit signs (reaching out to wholesalers/investors and seeing what kind of properties they're looking for) -Putting Ads on Craig's List I've also seen it suggested that you can reach out to landlords by calling "For Rent" signs, but I haven't done it myself.

For the occasional $30 or $50, I'd still think they were worth it.

Let me say that the husband is the total opposite and has occasionally helped me out with no charges with the property.I ve thought of moving (out of my own house) and renting both units out.  

I have occasionally found contractors who want to base their billing on a large percentage of what they think I'm going to make on a particular project, instead of the size and complexity of the actual project at hand.While it is human nature to gripe about our bad experiences, it may be more productive to use social media to talk about (1) all of the great projects you are doing and (2) all of the positive experiences you are having with good contractors.  

It's informative, and right away I can tell if they remember any French from college.Like many things in life (shampoo bottles, etc), adding some occasional French makes everything... nicer.Seriously, wholesaling is as wholesaling does.

They see the opportunities and rise to the occasion by creating opportunity.We have turnkey wholesale deals in NC and occasionally other areas but haven't had any in or around the metro Atlanta, Ga. area.
