Brand new Real Estate Wholesaler (South Florida)

Hi all! This is my first post on this website. I'm 21 years old and i'm REALLY excited to start building my buyers list, but I am a little frightened about actually speaking to sellers for my first time. I have a huge advantage as my mother has been a real estate agent for about 8-9 years, and before that, sold timeshare for 13 years, so I have a mentor when it comes to learning how to value houses and estimate repairs. I have been studying and trading Forex, Stocks (stocks not so much) and Crypto currencies (just recently started Nov. 2017) part time since I was 18 years old so have a clear understanding of value and how it fluctuates based on a number of variables, and think i have an amazing leverage over the average noob. I just wanted to post and make my presence known and if you want, feel free to message me or leave a reply! Thanks, and i look forward to learning, growing, and collaborating with the BiggerPockets community!

    Julian, 

    I admire the tenacity to jump in on BP and make a post! I am sure the nerves will break after a few calls or meetings with sellers. It seems like you have a lot of knowledge under your belt, you just need to take that first leap. I see you are from Miami, do you have any other areas of interest? I am an investor myself, but I haven't tested the market down there yet. I stick to the Tampa Bay area, more specifically Saint Petersburg because I have had no problem finding profitable deals. If you ever have interest in wholesaling further north, please reach-out to me and we can connect. I'm pretty young as well. All I can say is, maintain your initial ambition and keep grinding. Best of luck.

    @Julian Ballester Hey Julian welcome to BP. Like previous post suggests, talking to sellers, like most everything else gets much easier over time. As far as your buyers list if you find a deal I’d love to work with you. Happy hunting!
