Hello, my name is Brittany and I am new to this site and reside in Salt Lake City, UT. I have not yet started with investing, but am learning everyday how to get started. I have already learned a lot from this site, and appreciate all the help everyone has to offer. I currently own a pet care business, and will be starting with investing part time.
I am looking to start with wholesaling to save up some money to begin bigger projects. I don't have the funds right now to invest into house flipping, or rental properties. My goal is to do enough wholesale sales to then invest into a rental property or flip a house.
I would love any advice for getting started with wholesaling, and build up a buyers list. I know the first transaction will be very scary, but once I can go through the process and learn hands on I will feel much more comfortable.
I look forward to building relationships with other investors, and to have the opportunity to learn and teach as I grow in my own investments.

One free source is @Jeff Rappaport and Brian Pitcher have a free wholesaling group that meets once a month. The next one is this Thursday at the Thai Siam Cafe in Draper at 6:30.
The Local REIAs are good and inexpensive. Try the SLREIA and the UREIA. You can find them at meetup.com.

I see there is a local meet up for wholesale investors Thursday that I will try to make. I was thrilled to see that. Socializing with like minded people and learning about investing sounds like a great way to get started.
I appreciate you sharing with me the questions I should be asking, this will definitely help me to find the right people to speak with.
Thank you again for all the helpful information!
@Dave Visaya Thank you! I look forward to getting to know all the wonderful people here. There is no shortage of them from the looks of it.
@Rebecca Belnap I did see the meetup for this Thursday, thank you for the help and information on other meet ups around my area. I will look into all of them.
I would attend the local REIA events. The next one is this week. www.uvreia.com
Second I would pick up the phone, and start prospecting. I got 3 pieces of mail from different wholesalers, and another one is doing bandit signs in my neighborhood all in the last 4 days.
