As a wholesaler, especially if you are going to be good at it, you need to do much of the same sorts of tasks as actual investors but what you stand to gain isn’t nearly as significant.

@Charles Holmanat some of the meet ups I attend has everyone stand up and introduce themselves and what they do.  

- Any other tips, tricks, or pitfalls as I gear up to sign a lease with these guys?

We were literally praising this deal as the best property in the best area we have ever bought.I ended up looking like a complete donkey to my investor and not the Dingo that I'm know for lol :)***Lessons Learned & Tips***"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr.Speak to the neighbors before you close on a property.

But I was determined to be successful and I knew that I need to invest my money instead of blowing it like most 18 year olds would do.It was those same friends who now have no career, do not own a home and are just working at a fast food place at the age of 26.Vs.Me making smart decision with financing, under standing the value in RE, starting to invest in RE at 18, getting my RE license at 20, being named one of the top 30 agents under the age of 30 in the world for Coldwell Banker, and working my butt off to paid off my house, flip about 5 houses a year and have 2 buy and holds properties.*** I think I remember saying once to them, you laugh now but this is just the beginning... they especially laughed when I told them I bought a junky trailer.I wish I would have known about BP back then, I would have love to see where I would be now if I could hear from @Brandon Turner, @David Greene, @Scott Trench & the lovely and frugally miss @Mindy Jensen at the age of 18 when I started all this.

@Danny Randazzo - Not necessarily, it's more geared toward replacement costs, income interruption, etc.

One other thing that stands out to me is your comment about cash not flowing to the investment.

I will update this journal periodically and at key milestones throughout the investment life-cycle.Story:We became aware of the "Subject" through a long-standing broker relationship in Atlanta.

Follow them but always try to do something extra to stand out.
