Hey guys, name is Jonathan Quintanilla, it's awesome to meet you guys, you all seem super friendly!
I live in Hastings-on-Hudson and started (or tried to) wholesaling around 2 years ago because I knew I wanted to get into real estate but did not have the capital required to invest the way I wanted to. I have been through hell and back three times over on this journey, I mean, I still haven't even done my first deal yet! However, after writing nearly 3000 handwritten letters, my faith and persistence remain unwavering. The reason is that I had no mentor and incidentally attempted to wholesale in my area where there is no activity, so I chalk it up to a severe learning experience, haha.
Currently I am working in the Tarrant County market with a business partner of mine (I do most of the stuff virtually and he goes on the appointments/takes the pictures for me). I was only able to sent out 1 mailing campaign so far and found that I was supposed to be consistently marketing to one mailing list and not continuously buying new lists (what a HUGE oversight haha)!!
My ultimate goal, in real estate, is to own apartment buildings! I've always wanted to experience the purchasing/cash flow of an apartment building. I also wanted to get into rehabbing houses, but I'm still learning in that area.
Sorry for the long intro guys!
