@Jason Harrelll - I've bought directly from owners on multiple occasions using seller financing, subject-too and lease-options. And as a licensed Realtor, when speaking with owners, I can also offer to list the property for them if my off-market offer price / terms does not work.

    Jason 🙌 love the hustle, man — going out and finding 17 properties already puts you miles ahead of most beginners. That drive is what this business is built on.

    A quick thought: don’t box yourself in with just one strategy (like wholesaling). The real wins often come from being a creative problem solver. Every seller and every property has its own story, pain point, and potential. Sometimes that looks like wholesaling, sometimes it’s a sub-to, a wrap, a partnership, or even keeping the deal yourself with seller financing.

    Keep learning multiple exits so you can serve each seller the best way possible — not just get a deal done, but solve a problem and build a relationship. That’s where legacy and long-term success start. 🌱

    Keep up the great work — 17 leads means you’re already in motion.

    Im still fighting through getting this 1st flip done. Seems like I got alot of learning lessons with contractors. Its hard to find a contractor who you can rely on to give you good work.

    Almost done after firing 4 contractors. Had house 5 months and finally at the end point. Now I got to get it on the market.

    You have any ways to get another at a wholesale feal or help me learn how to buy from a seller directly?

    Im trying to get my money up.

    Quote from @Jason Harrelll:

    Really want to learn the wholesale business. I’ve gone out and found 17 properties all do owner financing 

    @Jason Harrelll: what is it that makes them "deals".
    Are they willing to sell below ARV (After repair value) which basically below what they would sell for fixed up, presentable, pass inspection on the MLS. Or, or are "fixers"? Are they "clean title" ? Are they in neighborhoods people want to live in? And so on . . .

    I would suggest you determine who your audience is, figure a "fair" offer, what the "terms" would be, include your fee, what needs to be replaced or fixed and see who the takers are. Simply having someone you think may sell on creative finance, doesn't give us enough information to decide if it's a deal worth pursuing.
