But, as with everything don't lay all your eggs in 1 basket. try some other forms of advertisement, like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, craigslist, for example I don't have a lot of FB followers on my business page but, it get's me a lot of clicks to my website with a $5.00 boost campaign where I can collect data from buyers and sellers.

Hello, I am new to REI I'm starting by wholesale marketing getting and closing out deals are there any tips you can tell a beginner like me on how to connect with buyers, and closing deals? 

@Joe Homs - I would need a general inspector too make sure that the home is in tip top shape. 

If you are wanting to do the research yourself, then you can google "ventura association of realtors", and then click on "find a home".

As far as finding properties, I don't want to fall into the trap of paralysis of analysis, but I am admittedly a little overwhelmed by it all right now.Hoping it all clicks once we get underway.

I wait at a restaurant and I bring in about 2k a month from my paychecks and tips combined.

Take just a few days to really educate yourself, then you can look at special niche areas and read some good books for tips and ideas of "how to", but you need to know the basics first. 

Both are great ways to network and pick up a ton of tips and research how the local real estate is going.  

Thanks for the tip @Tyler WeaverI pretty much knockout one BP podcast a day on the way to and from work, so I have heard some great interviews.

Just thought I would share that tip since yall have been so gracious in sharing yours :)
