My idea of "rich" is waking each day knowing that I am working because I want to and enjoy it....Looking to just get my feet wet in wholesaling to help in building up knowledge and finances to allow me ability to buy and hold at a later date.....Reading about mentors right now and if there is anyone in the Omaha area that wouldnt mind helping a newbie out it would be greatly appreciated....dont have vast knowledge to pass on but willing to learn and help out however I can be of help even to a "seasoned" investor!

I'm Darrick,a wet behind the ears investor in Philadelphia, PA - My wife and I are interested in interested in wholesaling to get our feet wet but because we have a few dollars socked away we have other options once we get a live feel for the business.

I like to search for a max. of $xx.xx per square foot.

A license is a license, and with anything, you will learn the most once you actually get your feet wet and start practicing RE.

I recently reviewed my insurance policies and found that the insurance company listed the square footage higher than the city records.

$5K for AC replacement is exorbitant unless this has some huge square footage; shop around for better pricing.

And the other half of the one big bedroom will have to keep a window; some people will also say that it can't be used as a pass-through - that makes the bedroom not a bedroom any longer, but a hallway.Sounds like you have enough square footage within the building to do this, but the layout and allocation of space still might not make this feasible to do.

I simply want to get my feet wet and create a track record for myself.

It seems repairs can be estimated on the age of the home, and the square footage.However my question is - How do I decide which materials (based on price, aesthetics) to buy when stores like Home Depot, Lowes have a lot to choose from.Does the contractor pick out a good deal of it, or is it all the investors discretion?
