Ralph,

The best way to connect is in person. Head over to the Events section on the BiggerPockets website.

Check out the Investor Clubs too. Ask how you can add value or partner on a deal—it's a great way to learn and build relationships.

There’s an event this Tuesday in Miami. The speaker is just 24 years old and already owns 1 to 3 properties through house hacking and co-living strategies. He’s also wholesaled over 15 homes.

Message me for details—it's in Miami.

Great, 

Check the events page here in bigger pockets,  we go to Multifamily Group In Miami. They meet on Tuesdays.  The great thing about this group is a network they don't have the regular setup of investor clubs.  You need to here someone that is selling something and you have no time to build relationships. 

Is direct people to people some take deals some have capital to invest. 

Luis M  send me a message and send you the info if you like.

Why Would Anyone Do Business With You? Two Reasons: Trust or Experience.

When you're just starting out in wholesaling, you probably don’t have either one—yet. But there’s a shortcut:
Join a solid team.

Sure, they might take 50% of your net profit at first, but what you gain is way more valuable:

✅ Knowledge – Once you learn the game, that’s yours forever. No one can take it back.
✅ Credibility – You’ll be able to show deals closed by the team, and that builds trust when you're just starting out.

Want to break into wholesaling?
Go to your local real estate investor meetups.
You’ll find the wholesalers. But don’t walk up and ask, “Can you help me?”
This is their business. Instead, ask:
👉 “How can I work for you?”

Think of it like this…
If you wanted to open a car repair shop just because someone on YouTube said it’s easy money—$10K, $100K—would you start by trying to fix engines with no experience and expect customers to line up?

No. That would be crazy.

Wholesaling is the same.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s very hard.
But once you learn, it becomes simple.
You're not just flipping contracts—you’re offering real solutions to homeowners who need help fast.

People would do business for you two reason

Tell him to send you an offer with a approval from a  mortgage company. 

Unless you know banking  a 700 score and a gross income is not enough to get a loan. 

Real estate has to be on writing the realtor knows.

do you know the price of your home?

Get advise from professionals to make sure you get the best price from your home with an easy transaction. 

Good luck,

Welcome to the industry—real estate is an amazing space! It’s simple: the more you learn, the more you earn.

Last year, only about 30% of realtors closed even one deal. The difference? It comes down to work ethic, constant learning, and standing out from your competition.

Choose the right office culture—somewhere that pushes you to grow and stay on top of the market. And most importantly, master the tools that make you better every day.

Wishing you the best of luck—put in the work, and you’ll see the results!

Great Industry, 

Luis Maqueira Miami MP

Drew,

Wholesaling is a long road. Over the past 12 months, my team and I completely revamped our systems—jumping between PPC, inbound leads, call center training, acquisitions, and dispositions.

Here’s my input: stick with what you know and what you can control. We’ve done more deals using the same traditional methods than with all the new AI tools, automations, and trending systems out there.

A lot of these so-called experts on YouTube—20-year vets making six figures—somehow still have time to drop videos every day selling you software and lead gen systems with affiliate programs attached. It says a lot.

We’re based in Miami and only work South Florida. If you ever want to chat, I’m around.
