New Investor - Based in AZ - Initial interests Wholesaling & Long-Term Growth

Hi everyone! I’m brand new to the BiggerPockets platform and to real estate investing. I’m currently focused on learning how to get started with wholesaling, finding buyers, and eventually transitioning into passive investing for long-term financial growth.

I’m based in Arizona and would love to connect with other local investors, mentors, or anyone open to sharing insights, tools, or step-by-step guidance for someone just getting started. I’m also interested in understanding the right systems, contracts, and scripts to build a solid foundation.

If you  have any advice, a beginner checklist, or resources that helped you when you were starting out—I’d greatly appreciate it!  I am looking forward to being the best investor I can be!

Looking forward to learning, growing, and connecting with this amazing community!

    Welcome, Tanita! Your plan to start with wholesaling and aim for long-term passive investing is a great strategy, quick cash flow now, wealth building later. Focus early on building a strong buyers list and learning how to spot motivated sellers. Systems like CRM tools, call scripts, and solid contracts will streamline your process over time.

    Connect with Arizona-based REI groups for hands-on learning and local insight. Keep showing up and taking action, you're setting yourself up for long-term success.

    Feel free to reach out if you need any help!

    Everyone wants to wholesale Phoenix. If you can afford $5,000 to $6,000 to get a deal, have at it. It's very competitive, some wholesalers are spending $50,000 or more a month and have established contacts.

      Hi Ken.  Thank you for the insight! I'm also interested in learning more about how deals can be done with as little as $5,000–$6,000. That’s an area I’m currently researching.  I’d appreciate any additional tips or guidance you’re willing to share.

      That's the marketing costs per deal.
      Mailers are expensive. Hiring someone to phone call is expensive. 

      The actual transaction costs vary by situation.

    Welcome to the community, @Tanita Bright! Love your enthusiasm and long-term vision. Wholesaling is a solid way to get your feet wet and learn your market hands-on. Keep soaking up knowledge, connecting with others, and taking small steps forward. Consistency adds up fast. Wishing you lots of success on your journey!

    Welcome to the community, Tanita! Great to see your focus on wholesaling and long-term financial growth. Building systems early like a CRM, solid scripts, and a buyer list can make a big difference. Keep things simple at first, focus on taking consistent action, and don’t worry about being perfect. If you ever need help understanding the tax side as you grow (or want to explore how strategies like cost segregation can come into play later), feel free to reach out. You're in a great place to learn!
