Hey Michael Core . Welcome to Bigger Pockets and its great to meet you! That was such a great introduction for yourself and I love the fact that you not only have dreams but goals and a specific deadline. I'd encourage you when starting out to just pick one primary strategy and go from there, especially if you're looking to get into wholesaling. I'd encourage you to talk to @Mike Watkins (sorry the reference thing isn't working) as he's a local wholesaler who operates in Douglas and Paulding counties. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you with your real estate investing business!
I just now found this. My keywords picked it up. I'm glad they did. Thanks for the shout out.
So @michael core,(not friends yet) we have the same name, same REI goals, same area we invest in and we are both wholesalers. It's amazing how we've never met each other. All thanks to bigger pockets.
We could go into business together and call it Mike and Ike buy houses. I'll be Ike.

I'm not sure where you guys are looking but I'm finding deals all over. I even got a house for a $1. I don't buy unless it's at least a 10cap.
I think I'd want a better than 10 cap rate if i was buying for $1
At least. It was a 5027% cap rate.

It's hard for me to understand why some one would think they can't find deals. Or it's a sellers market.
It's like going to heaven and seeing God and seeing all of his kingdom. Them coming back down to earth and talking to people who don't believe. How? I met him! He took me back and I saw him make the world. Are you crazy?
I can't begin to fathom how negative it is. Because I'm stuck in possible world. How do I even get to negative land?
Some one said, "If they can make penicillin from moldy bread, you can do it".
If Vageta can go super sayan. Then you can do it.
If a woman can be raped. Then her daughter also be raped. And then that little girl can grow up the most successful and wealthiest woman on the planet, then you can do it.
If "I" can flip a house almost halfway around the planet, in a place I've never been, with other people's money, and sell it to a person I've never seen, then you can do it.
You can tell me all day that it's a sellers market, but I'll still be right here doing deals with out you.
If you can't do it, then You can't. Give up on REI and apply at Starbucks, because some one's got to make my coffee.

I was a cart pusher at a major retail super store. I loved it, but they fired me. Long story short, here I am.
