Hey guys, this is LeAnna. I am a college student in Pensacola Florida at Pensacola Christian College. I am brand new and don't even have one deal under my belt. I have talked to a real estate agent who said that wholesaling is my best way to go for my first deal since it requires no money down. I have noticed a couple houses for sale on facebook. I don't know if facebook would be ok to start looking on or are there other places I can look. Houses for sale by owner are harder to find. I have looked through a couple fsbo websites and only found two really expensive houses for sale. What would you say to a newbie who hasn't even started? I want to graduate debt free and want to have done at least a couple deals before I graduate. Is this unrealistic? How can I be sure I am doing everything right??
@John Thedford This is a COMMUNITY for real estate INVESTORS. If you can't conduct yourself as one in a community and your primary interested is curtailing real estate investing, perhaps you could find another place to air your grievances.

Message me and I will share some information.
Also anyone else just getting started in wholesaling.
It takes time, small amount of money to begin (mostly advertising, business card, simple stuff), but it will be worth it.
Take it from a college student who dropped out and is now wholesaling full time. Figure out your intentions, decide if you are going to quit like 99% of people do in this business after you are 6 months in and don't have any deals. If you decide you're not going to quit, follow the other people's advice here. If you are just after the money or fame, you're going to fail and shouldn't even waste your time.
But if you're in it for the right reasons...let the market see it! ;)
