That’s a great idea! There’s a meetup near the university of Arkansas right now but like you said it’s not in person yet but thanks for the advice!

Hey! I’m a 17 year old from Bentonville AR and I have been learning about real estate for maybe a year and a half now. I love everything about it and my goal is to get my first deal before August of 2021 which would have to be through some form of creative financing. I have met with a few investors who are now mentors in the area, but I would love to expand my network. If you are from NWA and want to meet up, let’s talk! If you have just any general advice I would love that too, thanks!

@Brandon Vukelich

Thank you!

@Kyle J.

That makes sense, thanks for the advice!

I want to start making 5 offers a day for on-market deals to try and wholesale on market first before I build my deal pipeline for off market, I’ve come up with only one question I have in the process. When I send the offer sheet to the agent, what will I use as the proof of funds if Assigning it to a cash buyer? I feel like there is a stigma around wholesaling and that if I was honest it might lose some deals but maybe it would be worth it... I’m not sure, to me I just think wholesaling is a great way to get started and save some money for rentals in the future to build wealth, but there are some shady wholesalers.

Thanks!

I’m not planning on going to college, but the university of Arkansas is very close to me and I was thinking about buying a duplex down there and renting by the bedroom to students to maximize cash flow and live for free, because some of them could even be my friends if they go there!

@Kyle Wells

Ahh makes since, thanks for the quick reply.

@Ryan Howell

Thank you!

@David Avery

Thanks for the advice! That’s what I’m working on right now is trying to not necessarily stop reading and listening to podcasts, but start actually doing real things I need to do, like going to open houses and just networking and like you said picking peoples brains, and saving up for a down payment, I’m even trying to wholesale some deals for my mentors because they said if I find them deals they would pay me so that will get me tons of real experience!

@Dakota Wilde

Thank you! I love using mint.com to track my personal finances right now and I’d say it’s pretty hard to get me to spend anything lol!
