How do you get started in real estate wholesaling & investing

Hi All,

I am interested in getting into real estate wholesaling and investing. In order to do this would I need any certifications? wholesale contracts? And how would I obtain wholesale contracts? If there are any experienced wholesalers and investers please let me know how you got started. 

Thanks!

    Hi Victoria,  your question could be answered in a 500 page book,  lol!  Fortunately,  there are extremely helpful articles all over BP regarding the basics of wholesaling and investing.  My suggestion is that you read as much as you can about the basics of wholesaling and marketing.  Then,  start 'doing'.  

    It's easy to fall into a mindset where you think you need to know everything to do your first deal.  Learn the basics and start acting. When you come upon a problem,  then read into it to figure it out.  Goodluck!

    Read and listen to podcasts here on BP and other places. Learn as much as you can over the course of a couple of months and then start to take action. Go to meetups and connect with local investors and grow your network. You don't need to know everything, but you need to know enough to have a plan and be able to follow it.
