Hire someone to teach you this game and youll be on your way...

More than a year ago, someone tried to pull a "local" version of this con game on me.

Hello, I am a young and new real estate wholesaling investor (so new that I havent done any deals yet), and what Im looking for is someone in the chicago area (I live in Elgin), who has done at least a couple of wholesale deals, and can meet with me personally and help me learn the ropes, and get a couple of deals under my belt before I go completley solo.I'm not sure if this is where you would post something like this, but it seemed to be the best that I could think of.I have been looking into real estate and researching it for about 5 or 6 months now, and I feel confident enough to where I would like to get in the game, but like I said...not solo right away.

Hi, everyone I am a newbie at the real estate game and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions on finding decent propertys in the coastal carolina areas, such as New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, and Pender counties?

Now this was the first time that I, at 19 years old, had ever given thought to getting in the real estate game, but I was told it was a free dinner and presentation and there would be other investors there he wanted me to meet.So I figured, "what the hell?".

Eventually, having som e rehab skills would help your buying skills as being able to cpaitalize on a really good real eastate value also means being able to quantify rehab on a very timely basis....sometimes on the spot as many good deals are swarming with investors.the challenge here....until you have a solid customer base (and even then for that matter) selling real estate, if you expect to make a half way decent wage...is a FULL time job and so is rehabbing for that matter. you might find it helpful to get a job with a home builder as a cleanup guy until you get your license.2.

Bank's position is they have no way to contact their customers even though this is a scam.

I don't know how to go about attracting the customers that would be interested in such a property to take it off my hands or if there is any customers out there.

Your "customers", meaning the people who need the rehab, won't pay any significant percentage of your costs.

You could spend hours here reading all the information and posts.I've been investing for the last few years and I'm looking to step up my game a bit more.Anyone else in the LA area having a hard time finding viable options for rehabs?
