@Gerald Harris Thank you so much for providing this info. I've been on Bigger Pockets literally for 3 DAYS and am already immersed in all the great information here. I especially appreciate the links to contracts and your explanation (later in the thread) of the difference between them.
Thank you for this resource I am searching for my first Wholesale deal and I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the Contract. now i can continue hunting for deals
Hello I realize this is an older post but I'm hoping you can help me.
I am trying to do research in private investing. When I find wholesalers, what questions should or can I ask about their experience? How do wholesalers go about building credibility? Do I need to provide a POF before asking any questions regarding their business, licenses, examples of past transactions or any other documentation that would speak to their experience? I am hoping to build a relationship with an experience wholesaler as I am a new investor. I'm a process, documentation, detail person. I need a paper trail. I asked an investor who contacted me for some information and he seemed offended and told me my approach was fast and hard. I told him initially I was new, wanted to learn the process and looking for someone who'd be willing to work with me.
It is not my attention to waste anyone's time. I have some questions. I'm not sure how this process works. I have been researching but I'm a directed learner meaning I get the most of information I can bounce off someone. I'm not able to attend any meetups at this time. Can someone give me some feedback on a better way to go about accomplishing my goal of finding experienced investors with a bit of patience? I'd like to partner on a deal with an experienced wholesaler willing to take me through the transaction blow by blow. Not someone who just wants funds.
Hi @Faye Sikora. I'm not an experienced wholesaler or investor, but I am also a process oriented person - I write power plant operating procedures for a living right now.
I flipped my first house over the summer, and I loved it even though I didn't make a lot of profit. When I was done, I sat down and developed some better processes on rehab estimating. I also got some great resources from other investors after talking with them about how to use them. This business seems to be so experience driven (at least for me), so I have to get in, make some mistakes and learn from there.
As I was reading your post I was thinking that you should attend some meetups, but then noticed that you're not available to right now. Maybe you could attend a Wholesalers workshop in Tacoma one night a week on Monday. I'll send you the information if you're interested.
can you please send me the details of the wholeseller meetup. I would like to attend. I have tried finding them on meetup but with not a lot of success.
Hopefully this link will work for the meetup. There is a group in Bellevue and in Tacoma, both run by Ryland Taniguchi. They are part of the same meetup. If this doesn't work, you can search for real estate on www.meetup.com.
