I'm looking at several different ways to identify rehab properties in the Philadelphia area and was wondering if anyone has had success with wholesalers finding properties for them? What's the best way to find a great wholesaler? Thanks!

Hi my name is Billy I'm originally from Boston now live in Los Angeles.  I'm new to real estate investing, but I have a serious passion for it. I spend lots of time reading and learning all I can.  My short term goal it to get my first income property and I'm determined to get it right the first time.

I'm hoping BP can provide me the assistants and guidance I need to be successful and then one day have the opportunity to give back and contribute to the BP community. 

Living in Los Angeles poses a bit of a challenge, but recently I have been looking into turnkey properties.  Which of course like most people I was hesitant to go after at first. I had the typically questions and concerns. Should I really buy property that far from where I live.  How will i learn how things work if I'm not involved at all? I'm coming around to the idea of it, especially since it seems to be my only real way to get started at this point. Currently one of my biggest questions is which market do I go after?

I'm sure there are lots of people out there who share my situation.  I loved to hear from some people about their experiences when they got started or what they are going through now as a new real estate investor. 

I don't think he's on BP yet, but Omar Samaha works with investors a lot. He has become a friend of mine and is someone with a lot of knowledge on not only the DC market, but the national markets as well. Give him a Google search and you'll be sure to find some contact info.
