Hello Everyone,
My name is Chris and I'm 21 years old . Ive always been going out the way the find out to make good money for myself. Im never comfortable. Ive done dropshipping , tried reselling watches , offered side jobs and many more .
I currently work in HVAC and I've been busting my butt trying to make my ends meet. I have a little girl on the way and I need to boss up and be responsible.
Anyways I have no experience or knowledge of wholesale marketing. I've been looking to be under someone's wing to learn and experience .
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
thank you .
Chris, your hustle is real and your why just got bigger with that baby on the way—use it. Skip trying every tactic and pick one lane for 90 days: learn wholesaling basics, build a simple buy box, and talk to 5 sellers and 5 cash buyers daily. Script your intro, track every convo, and post weekly progress to stay accountable. Find a mentor or meetup to shorten mistakes, and study comps so you can spot real deals fast. Consistency beats intensity here—follow one course until successful, then scale. You’ve got this.

I would disagree with 'building a buy box'.... you do not and should not reach out to buyers/investors. I am telling you this from my opinion AS a buyer/investor. If you do reach out, ask their buy box, or what they look for and are empty handed with no contract in hand, you get remembered that you are new at this. If you come back with a property, then knowing you are new.... gonna get LOW balled on your reassignment price because we know you are NEW!
This is a game! Think of it like that. Who can get the best price, the best % Buyers/investors will come to you when you have something under contract and are blasting it out and advertising it.
Then when a buyer reaches out, really interview them so you know they are a real buyer, not a wholesaler trying to JV and eat off your plate. Then create! 1. First buyer Name, #, Email ... you create it organically but not forcefully. Make sense?
YES find a MENTOR!! The number one reason why people fail at anything is lack of guidance!!
Hey Christopher. It's awesome that you're looking to potentially get into wholesale and there's definitely a lot of opportunity here.
Feel free to shoot me a DM and I can share with you some ways to get started and go from there.
Hey Chris, really respect the hustle, man. That mindset alone will get you far for sure. Congrats on your little girl on the way, that’s a powerful “why” to have, and it’ll keep you pushing even when things get tough.
Wholesaling can be a solid entry point, especially if you’ve already got that drive and willingness to grind. You’ll pick up a ton just by networking, talking to sellers, and learning how to spot value in deals.
I’m a local agent here in San Antonio and always happy to share what I’ve learned or just talk shop if you ever want to connect. Keep that fire going, man.
@Christopher Mireles you are on the right path. The fastest route to become successful wholesaler is to learn directly from those who already became successful in it. So, you basically have two options:
1) Find a local wholesaler that is killing it and get on their team (either for free in exchange for education or try to get hired if possible).
2) Get yourself a mentor who's actively doing wholesaling. In this case you'll most likely to pay for your education.
Either way will get you the practical skills you need to suceed in wholesaling and avoid common mistakes that most new wholesalers go through.
Hey Chris - Congratulations on the baby on the way, brother. That’s purpose right there. You’re already doing more than most by showing up hungry to learn and serve.
Let me give it to you straight — wholesaling is just one tool in the toolbox. Too many new investors box themselves in and end up missing the real opportunity: creative problem solving.
When a homeowner’s behind on payments, going through divorce, relocation, or just burned out on tenants — your mission isn’t to “get the deal.” It’s to understand the problem so deeply that you can serve them through it. Sometimes that means a wholesale, sometimes a sub-to, a novation, or even a joint venture. The exit strategy changes, but your heart for service shouldn’t.
If you want to stand out fast:
You’ve already proven you’re not afraid to hustle — now channel that same energy into mastery and service. When you start solving others’ problems, abundance starts chasing you.
Stay focused, brother. Lead your little one by showing her what integrity, discipline, and service look like in motion.
