AZ is an EXCELLENT market.

Laura Volpini of Volpini Law in Strongsville is excellent.

To start out, I would start by watching/listening to as many Bigger Pockets podcasts and Youtube videos as you can to see how you can build your buyers list.Bigger Pockets PodcastsBigger Pockets YouTube Channel

I've used The Property Guys for many years, and they have been consistently excellent.

Avoid their free YouTube videos, their offers of newsletters, special reports and especially avoid attending their free introductory meeting or workshop.Then go ahead and decide if real estate investing is something you want to pursue.A MUCH better idea than starting as a “wholesaler” is to obtain your license and become a real estate agent.Becoming and agent has the following advantages over trying to wholesale1.

I'm using Kennebec Savings for lending and Farm Family for insurance mostly because of prior relationships but they've both been excellent to work with.Thanks,Mike 

Personally, I liked just watching youtube videos and listening to podcasts.

Look to talk to someone with insight on the matter.Recently watched the video of Rafael talking about making around $40k/month doing the arbitrage method.

I expect excellence of myself and I want an excellent team.

Your contractor could video chat with you while you take the call from home and explain the materials and installation method.
