Great day all! My brother and I are new RE investors and are very excited and anxious on this new endevour. We decided the best way to build income and get skin in the game is by by going the wholesaling route. We've been driving for dollars looking for homes in the area that are in distress that might be on it's way to a forclosue. My question to my BP family is what are some things you look for residential homes that are possibly in distress? Also we're thinking about getting a list absentee owners and sending them letters, is this a good route to go as well?

thanks for you time and responses!

awesome! Thanks for your response @Kyle Gregg I actually went searching yesterday and saw a few properties that didn't have shoveled driveways from the snow we've been getting here. Just have to research

@Torrance Green 

congrats on passing the brokers exam brother! I'm from Evergreen Park so I'm not too far from you. It's funny because we have the same goals and ambition. I'm studying for my brokers exam and also dipping into wholsdalijg and flips. Hopefully we can cross paths soon

@Wendell De Guzman 

this post was right on time! I'm not too far from you I reside in Evergreen Park Illinois and my brother and I are partnering to get our first deal off the ground. It's funny because I told him your name he said he already talked to you and referred a client to you. We're thinking to start off wholesaling is the best route to raise capitol and right now we're in the process of creating a list of absentee owners. Any help, guidance, or partnership you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
