My name is Dan McFall and I live in Round Rock, TX. a suburb north of Austin.  I'm new wholesaling, but not to real estate.  I'm a residential real estate developer and former home builder.  My last project was the 423 lot Caballo Ranch subdivision in Cedar Park, TX.  I decided to jump into wholesaling because the market here for raw land has gone crazy!  National production builders a paying above $2.00+ for raw land - that's way too rich for my blood.   Regarding wholesaling, I put 2 houses under contract in my first 30 day and am looking for buyers now.  I'd like to be able earn a full-time living wholesaling, but I realize it will take time and their is a lot to learn.  Great Info on the site - Good to be here!

    Welcome aboard, Dan   I'd love to pay two dollars for dirt. In town, at least.    On the other side of the coin, I'm working on a six cents psf raw land deal.   

    How did you find your wholesale deals? 

    We're glad you joined us!
