Trying to get into wholesaling as a 17 year old.

I've always known BP to be a place to come for all things real estate. And so here I am on the forums to look for help. I'm 17 and have been trying to do outbound lead generation, and safe to say, it's been a horrible experience. Everyone says pull "absentee owner" pull "tax delinquent" pull "tired landlord" and the list goes on. These never work, most the time they are on the DNC list. They don't answer at all, no valid phone numbers, or they pick up and curse me out, like I said the list goes on. I want get into real estate, and I don't have a lot of money as a 17 year old and I've been using all my resources to do it for free. I just need help, please don't leave vague advice.

Buy the book Flip, By Nick Ruiz, For me best book on wholesaling 101.   I tells you the basic basic basic, and it also point out some cheap marketing options that will get you some inbound action ..   

2nd I am super bias with this cos in my years of experience I think the Fastest way to get results on wholesaling Is to work with someone that is already established in  your market. That topic is the most underrated subject  among the gurus..  

Working with a wholesaling company Benefits:
They will pay you to learn ( Basically)
Dont need to deal with Marketing , accounting , administration , etc, and you will get pay a portion of equity... 
On going training on negotiation and market understanding .. 
in some companies they make you get your RE license so , is a plus you could maybe triple deep, acquisition fee, disposition fee and then list it for your investor... 

Lastly ,  Based on my experience . if you are hitting up 100 pips and maybe contacting 50 or 30 , maybe the approach and sales skills might need to be tune out..     so you could double check on that , PS (we all need to know and learn more, always room)   

Also hit me up anytime Ill be glad to help .. I host a RE event every month.. im also local ..
