Hi everyone,
My name is Clarisbel, and I'm just getting started building a real estate investing business focused on land and house flipping. I'm currently open to deals nationwide and actively working on building relationships with cash buyers, other investors, and wholesalers so I can start moving deals as they come in.
I'd love to connect with:
Investors with an active buy box for land or fix & flip properties
Other wholesalers/flippers who want to network or partner on deals
Anyone willing to share advice for someone starting out in this space
Feel free to reach out, happy to share what I'm working on and hear about your buy box criteria too. Looking forward to learning from this community and building some good connections here!

Clarisbel, if you’re building around land and fix-and-flip wholesaling, I’d get very clear on your buy box before trying to build a huge buyer list.
For each buyer, I’d track what they actually want: market, property type, price range, rehab tolerance, minimum margin, preferred closing timeline, and whether they buy with cash, hard money, or another structure. A smaller list of serious buyers with specific criteria is usually more useful than hundreds of names you don’t really know.
From the tax side, wholesaling is generally active business income, so I’d keep clean records of assignment fees, marketing, lead-generation costs, software, mileage, and other business expenses from the beginning.
If wholesaling becomes consistent and profitable, that’s when I’d evaluate whether an S-Corp makes sense for the active business. And if you eventually start keeping some properties as rentals, I’d keep those separate from the wholesaling/flip operation because the tax treatment is very different.
For land deals especially, I’d also be clear about your intent. Repeatedly acquiring or controlling property primarily for resale can create dealer/business treatment, which is very different from holding land as a long-term investment.
Feel free to DM me, I’d be happy to send over a few resources that might help as you build the business.

Hey Clarisbel, welcome! Nice to see someone diving into land and flips nationwide.
I'm Rey — I invest in land, fix & flip, and multifamily properties, always open to a solid buy box match. Happy to connect and swap notes on what we're each looking for.
One quick tip: build your buyer list early, before you even have deals under contract — it'll make moving properties much faster once they come in.
Feel free to DM me and we can compare buy boxes. Wishing you luck getting started!
