Ñañita, there is no "list". If you want to get into wholesale you can do a few things.

1. Drive for dollars. Pick an area an look for 'run down, abandoned homes, distress homes and look to speak with the owner.

2. buy a seller list and cold call away. Be prepared to get cussed out, hung up on and everything under the book but hopefully you will find that ONE person that wants to learn more.

So you found a willing seller. Now what? you gotta know what $$ will work for and investor to take your contract, you make a bit and the seller be willing to sell. Then complete a contract for sale with the seller and have your subject to contract ready to go.

I believe it is doable, but you really gotta invest the time, energy, and $$.

Maybe, go to a local meetup and get to know who the wholesalers are and see how you can be of help to them and learn the ropes that way.

Suerte!

Chevere, gracias ñañito! :)

I live in the beautiful city of Carmel, IN. I'm originally from Ecuador and lived in Los Angeles before.

I am a software developer and I have a passion for computers. However, my team was let go about five months ago. During my years in the computer industry, I have flipped three homes and currently own two rental properties. Although I am uncertain about returning to a traditional 9-5 job, I am interested in learning more about wholesaling to continue building my real estate portfolio through the BRRRR method.

I have watched videos and listened to many experts, but I cannot afford to pay for additional courses at this time. Additionally, I have a solid understanding of how real estate works and am currently working on obtaining my Real Estate license. I am curious about where I can find a list of properties to wholesale.

Also, I would love to know if there are more people in Indiana that does wholesale.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Don’t know why you’d be interested in wholesaling. Do you want to run a business with all its inherent problems, time constraints, expenses, etc.? Most wholesalers I know personally who are successful over time spend $10k monthly or more on marketing. IMO, the way to wealth and financial independence is ownership of appreciating assets. However, if you do want to operate a wholesaling business, don’t do what everyone else is trying to do; create something with a unique aspect to it that will differ from the crowded marketplace of businesses all doing the “I buy houses” thing.
The professional mentorship’s offered are worthless or worse. Most of the gurus have had no success, or limited success, or out right failure at what they “teach”. These programs have been professionally prepared by a small number of seminar companies operating out of Las Vegas and or Provo, Utah. Many of the gurus are actually paid actors. Many have Ben sued, and most will be sued in the future. FTC has issued restraining orders against many; when they close down another takes its place.
If you want to leave the programming field, try to get a position with a Real Estate Investment Trust, starting as an analyst. Based on your professional background and professional presentation, I think you would be VERY successful in the COMMERCIAL real estate arena.
Good luck

Thank you Don!

Actually, I'm already looking for an IT position in a Real Estate firm, and taking my Real Estate Training to become an agent :)

There are programs such as Batch Leads. They have an annual fee but you can get all types of lists off of there. They also have some methods to do marketing from the program. There is also DHM. They have something similar. I can send you a small list and let you see what I am able to get. Our company is in Northern Indiana!

Awesome, thank you Terri!!
