@Bridget Poston Unfortunately not. I’ve been looking around, and haven’t found anything yet. I’ll keep you in mind if I find anything closer.

I am definitely interested as long as it is a time that I can make it. I am an hour and a half away in Parkersburg. Keep me in the loop if you decide to have it. 

I'm unsure of the laws in California, but if I was unhappy with the way the property was cleaned or taken care of when they moved out I would just subtract it from their security deposit. Are you able to do that? The rest of your post I am unable to answer. 

Does anyone know how to find when public auctions will be held at the county courthouse steps? I'm in Wood County, WV but it would be helpful to hear from anyone who is in any county. 

Thanks

My name is Bobby Foggin. I am a 20 year old basketball player at Ohio Valley University in Vienna, WV, and I've decided to make a career out of real estate investing. I purchased my first duplex over the summer, and rehabbed it with the help of my Dad. I currently have both sides rented, and all is running smoothly with that. Due to the time restraint of my sport and school, I have not had time to buy more properties in need of repair because I am too busy to do the work, and I don't have the money to pay a contractor right now. I won't have enough free time to do a full rehab until this summer, so I am currently saving money and waiting until then. During this "down time", I have been reading, listening to podcasts, and researching online where I recently came across wholesaling. I feel that I can work this around my current school and basketball schedule much easier as it does not require as much physical labor or time on a worksite while still being able to make a little money and gain knowledge on the world of real estate.

I came here to reach out to anyone who has any advice to give someone such as myself who is just starting out. If you have a wholesaling background I would love to hear how you started out, and what mistakes you made so that I can hopefully avoid them. As for anyone else in real estate, I will listen to any advice, wisdom, or mistakes you made that you feel comfortable sharing with me.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Bobby Foggin
