I am a wholesaler and have learned a great deal from my local REI group, here on Bigger Pockets, and from other sources. I know I have a lot of knowledge and a lot to offer others. But my problem is being able to find properties that I don't have to go through a broker for with wholesaling. For rehabbing it isn't a big deal but as a wholesaler it is much more difficult. I don't have the money to go straight into rehabbing so wholesaling is how I start to gain capital. Great way to begin if you know how to find the property.

Finding lenders for a new company starting isn't too difficult but not easy either. Finding properties for rehabbing is very easy to do as well. Does anyone have any advice on finding homes for sale by owner? I know there is a lot out there but I can't seem to figure out how to find them. I appreciate any constructive criticism and advice to help me get started.

You may have to begin driving for deals, door knocking or sending yellow letters out. I mean you are talking about the holy grail in real estate really. If it were easy to find off market deals under market value that leave room for tons of cashflow improvements, everyone would do it. I think doing the dirty work is the most effective way to do it.

@Calvin Ozanick great advice. I have a hard time with the door knocking but the others I am still getting the how to get it started. I know this isn't an easy job to do. I just want a win to get me motivated more. Believe me I am not unmotivated at all. Just a little discouraged. I can't fail at this because I really want this. Kind of my dream. I appreciate the advice. I really do.
