Hello all! RE wholesaler out of Richmond, VA!

Rental Property Investor · Dallas, TX · Member since 2019 · 93 posts · 15 votes

First off thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan, though I usually go by ‘Jon'. I started listening to BP podcast a few weeks ago and haven't stopped since. I've watched the YouTube vids, read the books and listened to multiple podcasts, though I wouldn't say any of that makes me an expert. I've also just recently started up my business, forming it into an LLC. I'd like to think I now have a solid beginning-foundation and novice-level ‘know-how' of wholesaling Real Estate. I'm familiar with terminology and some applications/software. With that being said, I'm a new wholesaler servicing the Richmond/Chesterfield/Mechanicsville and surrounding area(s). I've been doing a lot of driving for dollars and some cold calling leads, but no luck yet. This motivates me to try harder, I am very persistent and goal driven. I'm very open to hearing new ideas and ways from the experienced and non-experienced. My preferred method in wholesaling is ‘assignment of contract', though I would not be opposed to a ‘double-close'. Thank you all and I look forward to hearing about your successes, experiences, and stories in Real Estate Investing.

    @Jonathan Newsome  Welcome!  This is the place to be.  There are some wholesalers in RVA that would likely welcome you to intern with them and see what they are doing.  I'd recommend teaming up at first.  Maybe you'll find a good team to join, or maybe you'll learn enough to see what's working and do it on your own.  

    Whatever you do, remember that it's all about the relationships!  Keep up the great work, no doubt you'll get some deals with continued drive.
