Hello everyone! I'm not sure why I didn't join the community earlier! I've been listening to podcast after podcast, reading article after article, and I can't get enough.

I'm targeting wholesale and BRRRR opportunities to begin building my portfolio. Also, just about to hit the turning point and TAKE ACTION now that I've set up a foundation for deal making (email, phone #, cash buyers list, etc.).

All that said, I'd love any advice or contacts. With the DC Metro area market so large, I've been finding it tricky to narrow criteria on motivated sellers! 

All the best,

Garrett

Welcome to Bigger Pockets. Make sure to listen to the podcasts. They are very informative, and contain ample information on investing in real estate.

Welcome to BP. Wholesaling is a function of the market that provides a shot of liquidity into a an an non-liquid property. So look to the areas of less liquidity in our market. DC itself, and the wealthier suburbs have high amounts of liquidity, so you will find less wholesaling going on in those areas. PG county is a lot less liquid, and thus you find a lot more wholesaling there.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and great advice. All much appreciated. I live locally in Washington DC and would really enjoy grabbing some coffee and/or a local meetup. 

@Russell Brazil Looking forward to listening to your podcast episode later today!
