Wholesaling is mostly a gimmick and to be successful at it you must go through a lot of the same steps as being an agent (ie marketing, negotiating prices down, building a list of buyers etc).Might as well become an agent, build your network, learn the real estate industry from an insider's perspective and grow your new business that way.Just imo.

The industry seems to be surrounded by two medical centers and the restaurants on the "ross clark circle".

I'm moving to SA in two weeks from PA and wanted to reach out to industry leaders/ movers and shakers..Looking to see the areas of town people are most interested in buying...

I like that they have low minimums on the ifunding site..I'm still not sure exactly how they screen the deals "a proven formula" by a "team of professionals w/ over 30 yrs of experience"But another example of the "democratization" of RE investing and information (much like many other industries..)

Hi,I was brought to this site via an interesting topic on Investor Verification and how that now works with the JOBS Act coming full force.I am heavily involved in the crowdfunding space and I plan to be very active in the real estate crowdfunding thread, and offering any insights that I can.I think "crowdbuilding" has a major place in this industry, and can't wait to see it grow, let alone see Americans everywhere (non-accredited investors) invest into real estate and become very aware of how fun and rewarding it can be.In turn, it looks like I will learn a lot here about the technology and trends that are happening.

I do sales for an industrial company and really hoping to get my first deal before the end of 2014.Looking forward to keep learning and understanding investing.

I know that that if you wanted to work, you are pretty much limited to the tourism industry and stuff like that.

Tim - I have been in the real estate investment industry for 21 years, full time since 2001.

If you are not confident that you will find a buyer for this property and you are worried about loosing an E.M. deposit you have no business signing a written contract agreeing to buy this property.People doing things like this gives the industry a bad name.

Rightfully so because many in the industry are complete idiots or self-serving jackasses.
