So I have a contact that knows a good private lender. The lender doesn't want a part of any of the work, not even go take a look at the property because he trusts my contact enough. So I have this great opportunity, but I'm extra nervous because he's very experienced and I'm not. So I'm looking for properties and thinking about this and that and nothing is looking like a deal to me, because I want to make sure the first thing I bring to him is going to be something he's interested in taking up, you know the whole first impressions thing. I'm 23 and haven't done a deal yet, he's much older. Before I found out about this guy I was just going to try wholesaling, and now I'm going to be flipping and I will have free and clear access to all my lending needs if the deals look good. My question is where should I be looking for more deals, I feel that driving/looking and Craigslist are decent but I don't have an experienced eye so I'm not seeing very many. Should I look for more foreclosures and pre-foreclosures because I haven't been looking as hard into those as FSBO. I guess this is a good problem because I have the lender but now it's too real and I don't want to disappoint.

I appreciate it guys.

My name is Connor and I'm from Tulsa, OK. I'm new to all this and have been doing the research on "the process", especially for wholesaling. I haven't really been able to figure out, if you're just starting out, should I just look to get a property under contract then market the property, assuming I don't have a buyers list. Or should I try to first create a buyer's list. This is the burning ? that seems to have me nervous pulling the trigger.
