The theme is different also for each networking event whether it be for wholesalers, out of state investors, general, etc.I would look at Biggerpocket's event section or on meetup.com and find a networking group/event that interests you.

@Sebastian RiveraWelcome to the world of real estate where everything with good planning, habits and work ethic can do wonders.There are local meet up groups on real estate; which can give a chance to meet fellow real estate investors.You can do flips (buy-rehab-resell); rentals; wholesale (buy-sell) and other variations. 

As a wholesaler, your role in the big picture is to identify and secure a purchase opportunity that you can deliver to your buyer, so that THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.

To me, it reads that you can wholesale as long as you are not presenting yourself as a broker or sales associate.

OR Hire a really experienced Realtor that specializes in Investment Real Estate that has gained valuable contacts over the years that could provide you with access to their resources for free OR Work directly with a Real Estate Investing company with decades of experience that can provide you with access to their contacts for free2) Finding a deal: Here's a few ways to go about that - You or your agent can search the MLS and crunch numbers on property advertised on the retail market and hope to find a deal that all of the other real estate investors in Texas may have missed OR You can attend auctions and try to outbid all the other seasoned investors there only to realize if you win then that means you paid too much OR Have random wholesalers send you the one off deals they get under contract OR spend the time, money, and energy in trying to become a wholesaler yourself OR Work directly with a Real Estate Investing company that can send you the largest source of deeply discounted property sent directly to your inbox in the form of a daily spreadsheet.3) Estimating Rehab, Holding and other Costs: Read FLIP by Rick Villani and Clay Davis and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J Scott.

I work with wholesaler groups throughout the boroughs and Long Island that bring about the occasional good deal.

I recommend that you simply describe the process - from start to finish - on how you would "wholesale" and ask if it can be done without a Real Estate License in your state. 

Today I want to talk about a great lesson that I learned as I had more experience under my belt.It is the power of not having a wholesale every property that comes through my funnel.When I got started in this business, I only had one exit strategy...Assigning.I love this assignment strategy and I still do this a ton today.However, after accumulating some experience and capital, I can now say that having more than one tool in the toolbox is extremely beneficial especially in competitive situations.Here are three tips on why it makes sense to not wholesale every property.Tip #1 YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEYMost of the time, you are going to make more money if you close on the property.

By that logic there are no good wholesalers or flippers because they should just hold the good deals.

When the agent first brought it to you, was she trying to wholesale it and get a bigger fee than a normal commission?
