Hello @Arch Zambrano from a neighbor Floridian! :)

My recommendation is that you choose a name tied to your personal name. If you are dealing with private owners (as a wholesaler you probably will be), you want to keep the personal and approachable connotation to your business. For instance, Zambrano Properties LLC or Arch Properties. Avoid 'Realty' with your name, unless you are licensed.

:) Stay motivated, keep reading and educating yourself and you will reach your goals. Motivation and determination go a long way in this business. @Carlos Mendez

Welcome @Amos Perez! Florida is a great place to get into real estate investing. I do have a network and real estate club in Orlando. Come and join us some time!

If there is good equity, a private lender would be very interested in partnering with you. $7k does not seem enough to purchase or rehab a property. Is this for a downpayment? As long as there is good equity (at least 30% FMV), you should be ok.

How do you find private lenders or individuals with money? One fast way - do an MLS search and look for properties that have sold for cash over the last few months in the area where your property/deal is located. Contact those buyers.

Hello Jeff and welcome. The Midwest is a great place for investing in real estate. I have been an investor in St Louis for over 20 years and I also invest in Chicago.

The key is knowing how to find 'distressed' properties (undervalued). Look into tax delinquent properties, pre-foreclosures, probate, bankruptcy Chapter 7 liquidations. All this information and databases are free and like I always say, the best inventory is straight from the source. :)

Hello Carlos and welcome! You are definitely in the right place here. This forum has a lot of active investors and resources for you to learn from. I have been an investor for 29 years and I work with investors nationwide, including San Antonio. Make sure that whoever you work with as a mentor is someone you can approach and "walk the talk" :) 

It seems you are already doing the right things. Most of all, be proactive and build momentum.

Please Note: Only 14 people will be accepted on the bus tour - when the seats are gone, I will close down future reservations and I will have a wait list in case someone cancels (5 days or more prior to the event.)

Attention: New and Experienced Real Estate Investors

The Rules have changed: find out the best strategies out there and how to apply them!

Some of the most common concerns I hear from people wanting to get into real estate investing or have tried at real estate investing with little success are: “I have a lot of information, but I don’t know where to start!” or “I need a step-by-step action plan – kind of a ‘connect the dots’ system” or “I have no one to ask questions or help, and I am afraid to get started.” Sounds familiar?

During this all day bootcamp my goal is to set up a map for you, a plan of action, where I will share with you all the essential knowledge and tools (without overwhelming you,) which are going to get you out there and close that deal!

May be your Realtor, title company, and attorney say it's illegal to flip houses with no money.

Well let me tell you, it is definitely not true!

I've been there and have heard it all.

I have been wholesaling since 1987. I have done it pretty much all in the wholesaling arena: local wholesaling, virtual wholesaling, co-wholesaling, assignments, foreclosures, probate, auctions, tax delinquent property, REO, short sales all with just as little as $1 down!

Today I do 100% of my wholesale business with little to no money and you should too!

Join me and you will learn:

- What is Wholesaling & how to do it;
- What makes a good wholesale deal and where to find them;
- What makes a good buyer and where to get him/her;
- How to find your very first deal within the next week and close in less than 1 month;
- How to negotiate and what to say to property owners so you can get them to act now;
- & so much more!
