Andrew, I've went the last two months and both times there were only 12-15 people. A lot of those people are new like myself. There is only a handful of people who seem to have a lot of experience. What day does Atlanta hold their meetings? Thank you.

Paul, I have been going to the last few REIA meetings in Sav. They are rather small and most of the people that I would like to have them mentor me are too busy at this time to take anyone else on. They have been very helpful. I am just looking for someone to help take me to the next level. Thank you very much for your response.

Thank you Jaren.

Hello BP,

I am transitioning out of the Army in the next few months. I have this time to start training and pursuing my real estate goals. I am looking for someone in the Savannah GA area that would be willing to work with or mentor me. I would like to begin in wholesaling and eventually rehabbing. If anyone knows anyone in the area who could help it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. -Nathan Paterson

Has anyone used info USA for a potential buyer's list before? How was your experience?

Thanks

Amanda

Hello,

I am trying to get in contact with some Rehabbers in the Savannah Ga and surrounding area. If anyone has any contact info they would not mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Thank you both for your reply, I appreciate the response. Curt, I'll check out those systems. I am going to our local REIA meeting tomorrow evening and a seminar on Thursday of this week. Any advice before I head into the meeting? Should I prepare a list of questions to have mentally stored beforehand, or should I just focus on networking? Any tips for successful marketing? Should I be looking mostly for buyers and learn what they are looking for?

Brian--- that's a great saying. I'll definitely be looking my car! I do understand that this is NOT an easy field. I'm just hoping that it's still viable.

I'm still learning the terminology here as well.... I truly am a newbie.

Hello BP members of RE community. My name is Nathan Paterson, and I am an active duty special operations military member currently transitioning out of the army through the long and dreadful med board process. Due to an injury that occurred overseas, my career options are limited as I head into the civilian work force. I Came across a wholesaling book after deciding to go into the real estate business with my father in law who used to have a very successful construction company. Our original plan was to flip and build, but after reading about wholesaling, it seems like a better option for me and possibly him as well (given his age).

We already own a home here at my duty station (Savannah, GA), and have a very special friend who is a real estate agent ( my bestfriend's mom--- she is a gold star mom now, sadly).

As I begin on this wholesaling venture, I realize my wife is understandably skeptical and worried at the potential return. Does anyone have any experience in the savannah, ga or surrounding markets? I see many guru's marketing it similarly to a get rich (relatively) quick scheme, but I realize that it will take loads of hard work and effort. I'm not exactly sure where to start or if I truly need a coach. I read Andrew massaro's book where he strongly suggests getting a coach, himself preferably. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Andrew Massaro? He charges about $3.5K plus 50% of the profits while in his 12 week program. Obviously at this point in my life, every dollar counts, especially when potentially starting my own business.

Also, is wholesaling a dying industry? Is there still potential to be successful in it? What would my first steps be?

I'm very excited about this and truly feel that God has pointed me in this direction. I'm a hard worker with a strong desire to succeed; I simply cannot allow myself to fail.

I just wanted to introduce myself to the community here and get some advice. Any tips, words of wisdom or caution are truly appreciated. Also, any book recommendations are accepted as well; I'm engrossing myself I'm marketing and real estate wholesaling/ investing books.

Thanks,

Nate
