Nothing like a good bit of healthy competition.  

Have you looked at a partnership or joint venture to acquire your first purchase? 

Our special guest (at least for me and @Benjamin Hauser ) - Our Joint Venture partners from Jacksonville, Florida, @Maxwell Lee @Kelly L. 

@Michael Linquist  If you are desperate for a course, for heavens sake, please please please choose the $300 one so you can put an extra $12,200 towards your business.Otherwise, I would go with the healthy suggestion of networking with others in your area at an REIA meeting.  

I would like to exchange information and ideas on strategy, emerging markets, joint ventures, funding, contractors, and more!  

@Anthony Jenkins JV is short for joint venture, also known a partnership.

You should check with a real estate attorney to verify that you're not breaking any rules/laws in how you're going about your venture.Next, assuming you determine that what you are doing is legal, I would recommend creating a joint venture with the other wholesaler and have a JV Agreement written up by a qualified contract attorney.  

You will find the money or a partner for a joint venture or you can wholesale it to another investor if all else fails.

If you go into any form of joint venture with another you ABSOLUTELY need to form a company. 

Our objective is to provide safe, healthy, and efficient homes for our tenants that are a good value for their money.
