Hi! I just finished The Real Estate Wholesaling Bible. Can anyone recommend more books to read or listen to for those of us who are getting into wholesaling?

I've read the BRRRR book by David Greene. Can anyone recommend more books to read or listen to for continuing education on the BRRRR strategy?

@Mackaylee Beach thank you!

What kind of insurance does everyone carry on their rentals?  We have a handful of rentals in our portfolio and I'm analyzing the coverage we already have.  We carry replacement cost on property and replacement cost on roof. Personal property coverage, liability...what else does everyone add to their policies?

Would you flip a house with no basement? I know the ARV will be less and the buyer pool will be smaller. Would you still move forward with it? We are looking at a 2 bed, 1 bath, no basement potential flip 2 blocks from a lake (not sure if the part about the lake helps). We'd be putting the property on the market in mid-to-late August.

@Peter Mckernan thank you for you reply! You make very good points. And yes, I think that's something that goes under the radar when hiring VAs. Where they are located definitely can impact how they speak with your leads! 

@Mitch Messer this is great info! I hadn't yet accessed online court records to find deals, but will add this strategy to my list. Thank you so much!!

@Ghassan Jabali  This is great insight.  Thank you!!

@Cornelius Garland  This is fantastic information.  Thank you so much!  I'm interested in the part where you mentioned that the leads from texting are more motivated.  I have no doubt that is true, but what makes a text lead more motivated as opposed to someone who is reached by call?

I am very interested in cold texting, but many I have spoken to have questioned the legality of it.  Have we been misinformed about that?

You make very good points against cold calling myself.  I was more leaning towards hiring a company, but I am now sold on doing so, lol.  But like I mentioned, I am very interested in cold texting, and would love to implement that strategy into our business.  If you have any tips on cold texting, I would appreciate any insight you have!

@Amanda Smith  This is really wonderful feedback.  Thank you!!  I will be sure to reach out if I need anything!
