Hi everyone! My name is Jacob Cuellar, I’m a 24 year old nursing student looking to eventually become financially free! I’ve done a bit of research on wholesale real estate (books, YouTube vids, podcasts, etc.) but I’m looking to find a mentor in the RGV who is willing to show me the ropes on how to successfully wholesale real estate consistently. If you have the time and availability to help me please message me! Thank you! I’m looking forward to new opportunities.

Hi everyone, I’ve been having some trouble finding good off market leads, does anyone have any advice as to where I can find promising off market leads? I’ve tried Craigslist, and using off market searches on Zillow and Redfin.

Quote from @Curtis Boardman:
You can try Realtor.com to view pending and listed properties of similar square footage, bedrooms etc...for a ball park comp. Obviously, these haven't closed so you won't know the exact price. Consulting an agent may be the best way to go. If your realtor weakens your negotiation, you have the wrong realtor. Most realtors have access to RPR which can comp a property just about anywhere in the nation.

This is where a Realtor comes in very handy.
I have heard some realtors will provide comps, but does this weaken my negotiation? I’m worried if I don’t have any comps to show or compare I weaken my hand. Is this true? Or just me getting in my head?

What sites have you used to find the comp?
I’ve been using Zillow, Redfin, and Propstream, but for some properties I’ve tried looking into there are no flipped/better condition properties listed or any listed at all.

Hi there! Has anyone ever had trouble finding comps on a property? If so what should I do? Should I just move on to another property? Is there somewhere else to look for comps? Anyone have any info? Thanks!

@Jacob Cuellar.I think craigalist is worth looking at. Not sure about distressed, but under advertised and under marketed,. I believe so. Which is good for buyers and not so much for sellers

Reach out to note investors / private lenders to see if they have any.

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking for distressed off market properties to get under contract but I haven’t found any that look too promising, I’ve heard Craigslist is a good idea but has anyone had any good results with off market sellers from Craigslist? And if anyone has other ideas of where to find leads feel free to drop them below! Thanks!
