Advice for a Novice

So I'm new to wholesale REI; I live in Indiana but work in Illinois. I have met a customer who I'm going to look at their house this week in Indiana. But I want to take action and try to get some deals in Illinois as well. Without having any experience should I try to take on multiple deals or should I secure my Indiana deal first, then go from there?

I would say get as many meetings scheduled as possible, I am fairly new and found that with each meeting you get more comfortable with the process. The odds that first meeting leads to a wholesale deal isn't high but the added experience will always help with the next visit. The more home visits you can accumulate in a short period of time the faster you will get comfortable. Also a great BP podcast to listen to for visiting homes is number 77!
