I have gotten a response from a yellow letter that I sent for a property that I found driving for dollars.
The property's potential ARV is $145K and just based on the outside of the property, it looks like there is about $35K worth of work.
I know this is not a lot to go on but as a wholesale deal, is it worth it to put it under contract for about $80K, contingent on seeing the inside and getting a more accurate ARV just to get the deal going?
Thanks @Alex Capozzolo! "... it is a marathon, not a race." I love that, and will make it a point to remember. I want to get into everything real estate, so BRRR is only one thing I will do.
Can't wait to hear other responses.
As you may or may not know, I am new to real estate investing. I have been trying my hand in wholesaling (online ads, bandit signs, etc.), but have yet to close a deal after almost a month of seriously trying.
Just trying to get a opinion from more seasoned investors: what do you think about me starting of my "career" by doing a BRRRR? Has anyone else started that way?
Thanks in advance.

Oh wow .... I wonder what happened. Hopefully we can get things going again.

Unfortunately I have not seen any scheduled this year and we are approaching half way through the year.

What kind of places are you interested in investing in?
It's nice to know you've been able to make some good connections in this short of time. Finding a good network is going to be key.
You're very welcome.
I want to invest in single-family and multi-family properties. I don't want to limit myself to just one aspect of investing, so I want to learn as much as I can about all of the different niches of investing.

Hey Matt:
I'm new too. So many questions, I know. I've only been active for maybe a week and I've already connected with some very knowledgeable people.
Welcome!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Lisa Tolan
BP is loaded with all the information you will need to succeed in whatever niche of real estate investing you wish to pursue and the community is filled with knowledgeable investors and professionals to learn from and connect with. No need to spend hundreds or thousands on any "gurus."
BP is what you make it. The more you put in, the more you will get out of it!
Listen to the podcast for extra inspiration and investing advice and post in the forum for any questions you have. Members here are really eager to help. We're all working to succeed together.
Also, check the "networking events" tab under "Community" and go out there and meet people. That's the way to build powerful relationships.
Like you, I am living in CA (Los Angeles), but I focus on investing out of state for the 3x cash flow and reasonable cost of real estate. Florida is my state of choice.
If you have any questions about out of state investing and in the Florida market, connect with me and good luck on your journey!

P.S. - Two of the best books you can read (and re-read) are Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The 4-Hour Workweek. Both have been mentioned numerous times by guests on the Bigger Pockets podcast and I have detailed notes to both books. If you would like a copy, just let me know and I'll send them over. (but it's still highly worth buying the books.)
Hi Bradley:
I have BOTH of those books already, but I will take a copy of whatever you have to send me!
