I probably have skewed social circles, but every time I tell someone I’m selling they presume I’m trading up to a bigger more expensive house.

I knew a little about wholesaling back then, and to be honest, there might have been a few new added or tweaked techniques, but for the most part, I dont believe it has changed a lot.Thanks for the welcome.

Social media, networking events in your area, Craigslist ads and talk about it to whoever will listen.Here's an example of a Craigslist ad I've ran...Title: Handyman Special!

I was really hoping for one of those buying techniques I read about on here where I'm lost by sentence number two.

But you will need to have it under contract first so you will need to use your social engineering skills aka confidence to do that.p.s I have done plenty of deals where I only put down $10 and some where I didn't put down anything.

I am:- handy and can assist with the renovations- analytical and could help run comps, make projections, book keep etc- web savvy and could help spiff up their website and create more of a social media presence (BP, twitter, youtube, fb, slideshare)- driven to learn and grow as a person and investor- willing to freely give up to 20 hours of my time a week with the right fit (currently working full time at Lowes)They asked for a cover letter and resume.

http://www.rentometer.comObviously you need to do more diligent research when looking at a rental, but this is a great tool to get a quick guesstimate when looking into a property.Do any of you guys have special techniques in assessing potential rents?

These are techniques I definitely didn’t learn during my education.

Has anyone used social media to find scouters?

Certain gurus just want to tell you all about the glorious parts but not the what if's or the don'ts they just want to sell their technique or strategy for a few thousand dollars and keep it moving.
