Hello All Monmouth County Agents!

I am a budding wholesaler in Monmouth County, NJ. In order to fine-tune my market analysis, I am looking to gain Monmouth County MLS access by becoming your unlicensed assistant. In exchange, I will give you my warm leads to motivated sellers who are looking to sell their house at a retail price for top dollar.

Basically, as I market for motivated sellers who will sell their house at a discount to market prices for 50, 60, 70, cents on the dollar - MOST of the people responding to my marketing will NOT be interested in a discounted price. They may have motivation or interest in selling, but at retail prices. Those are potential agent leads! During my conversations with the seller, if they are not interested at selling at a discount, I can talk you up as a potential listing agent and give the seller your information. You get warm listing leads for ZERO marketing dollars out of your and your broker's pocket!!

In exchange, I am looking to become your unlicensed marketing assistant. This will allow me access to the Monmouth County MLS with my own username and password. Much better than using Zillow, etc to analyze comps and market criteria. You can call the Monmouth County Realtor Board and ask for Jean to verify all the details about unlicensed assistants. It's an easy process, basically some paperwork and a small fee (which I would pay you ahead of time). That's it!

Let's make some money together!

Send me a message on BiggerPockets to discuss further details.

Hey Brian -

Welcome to BP. See you tonight at the Red Bank library.

Hey Neil -

I'm interested in what sites you found.

Hey All - 

Who's been wholesaling around here? ie. Middletown,  Atlantic Highlands,

Highlands, Fair Haven, Rumson, Red Bank, Little Silver, Shrewsbury.

I'd love to talk with you!

Where in NJ are you referring to? Southern NJ I'm assuming, by Philly?

If you have a YouTube video embedded on your website, blog or elsewhere - whether it be promotional, testimonial, informational, tutorial, etc. - you probably don't want those "related video" suggestions that appear at the end. This could distract the viewer (maybe a potential customer) from your website and send them off on a YouTube safari where they end up watching videos of cats flushing toilets or some such nonsense several hours later. Who here hasn't surfed YouTube? You know it's possible! You want to keep those eyeballs on your website.

With the following simple steps, you can program your embedded video to remain on your video for replay.

1. Go to the YouTube page of the video you want and below the player click the "Share" button.

2. Then click on "Embed" and then "Show More"

3. Scroll down until you see check boxes and tick the "Show suggested videos when the video finishes" so the check mark is removed.

4. Copy the code in the "Embed" field and paste it where you need it on your website.

Your video will now be embedded without related videos at the end. And by the way, this does not work on the YouTube website. You can only do this for YouTube videos embedded on other websites.

Welcome Tom - 

I'm a recent Monmouth County newbie from Monmouth County too. Welcome aboard!

Thanks ya'll. 

Howdie All - 

I recently attended a Flipping Formula 3-day seminar which my father signed us up for. Having not been involved directly with RE investing myself, I was quite overwhelmed and VERY turned off by the high-pressure sales tactics to entice you to sign up for their products (although I must say I was aware from the get go that their seminar would be a sales funnel pitching their "advanced training"). I was disheartened leaving the whole thing not only because of the two grand my father spent, but because there was only a modicum of nuts-and-bolts material being shared and the mentorship being promised was available for a steep price. 

That being said, it has been a breath of fresh air finding BP on the web. I am hopeful once again because I can see there are thousands and thousands of people investing in real estate and they have done it without the benefit of "gurus".

I am interested in wholesaling for now because I have little disposable income to invest.  While my father (early 80's) might be a good sounding board because he has swung a hammer and has been a property owner with tenants in the past, he is not familiar with the world of wholesaling. 

I am looking to turn my life around - I am in my early 50's. I am married (21 years) and have two kids in college [looking to erase my kids' college loan debt is an early goal with my investing]. I have done many things in the past: film production, stock broker, headhunter, waiter, restaurant manager but have never been successful financially. Currently I am waiting tables again to make money. I see real estate as a means to quit my job and rearrange my and my wife's lives - sooner rather than later. 

I look forward to the next step in this odyssey called Life.
