Wow...if this isn't the best story I've heard in a while. I appreciate the depth of detail you provided, as I am getting ready to vamp up my own wholesaling schemes/strategies and start tapping into the market. Thank you for the motivation!

Great story man. The same age as you and it is truly inspiring to see you turnaround and get a deal within such a short time frame. This just renewed my motivation!

Hello, 

So I am looking to close in on my first deal by the end of the year. I have learned the process of wholesaling and what I have to do in regards to calculating a good deal, know what contracts I should be prepared, finding end buyers, etc. My concern at this point would be how do I go about finding possible deals? I received listing from the MLS of recent sales to compare with my prospective deals. Can I use a website like Zillow or redfin to find homes that are up for sale? Is that the best way? I do plan on driving for dollars this week to see if I can find some walking around the neighborhood that way, but would love feedback on how you find possible deals.

Thank you!

@Cortney Jones Your advice provided great help to me, as I have been through many months of research and preparing for my first deal. By any chance, would you have an extra 10-15 to role play a scenario as a first time wholesaler speaking to a seller and how I would go about it? I want to ensure that I come to the table correctly. As they say, your first impression goes a long way. Please let me know! Thank you!

Timothy Rogers Hello Timothy, working on my first wholesale transactions. If you still have the Purchase contract and assignment of contract for guidance, that would be greatly appreciated. Your example was clear cut and easy to comprehend. Thank you!

Hello there and thank you in advance for the advice. I am starting out wholesaling as a way and means to build capital and grow my investments. As a rookie who has never experienced the process yet, can someone explain what should I have at all times while talking to a potential seller? Mostly looking for advice on what to bring going door to door and possibly landing a deal up front. Do I bring a contract? Comps? What else would be beneficial to ensure that I do not miss out on a good opportunity?

@Steve K. Thank you for the input. I am working around Redfin as we speak. I am also a spreadsheet kind of guy so that I can see my data in a organized and listed format, so this may be a great tool. Thank you!

@Aaron Mazzrillo I just set up my first meeting with another investor/agent in my neighborhood. Hopefully I can sly my way into access across the area. Wish me luck!

@David Michael Please keep me in the loop! I would love to network with people who work within those markets.

Thanks!

@David Dachtera Thank you for the feedback. I am just hearing about Redfin so I will play around with that website as well. Maybe each website have their own niche based on demographics and location/area. If I can ask, do you use this process, and aside from researching the recently sold properties (no more than 6 months), square foot, etc. how much do you believe you can rely on the sales price listed? I would assume using that would be my starting point to figure out my ARV.
