Welcome @Glen Hotnit to BP I look forward to learning about Section 8 from you. Maybe you could write a blog post on the subject.

Welcome to BP @Lauren Betancourt and a good place to start would be http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/58383-the-truth-about-wholesaling-

Also there are several podcasts here on BP that will shed some light on where to get started.

You may want to secure a new job with a little more stability before preceding with your investment goals. I strongly agree with @Adam Johnson that many things can happen and you need to be able to manage the ups and downs of real estate investing.

Welcome to BP @Michael Barlow this is a great place to expand your knowledge and grow your network. I think you found 2 cash buyers in @Mike LaCava and @Shaun Reilly now you just need a good deal! Wish you the best!

Stay in the Game. How many of the your competition are still in the game? Most quit after 1 mailing. You need to consistently hit your list anywhere from 3-7 times or more. They will call when they are ready.

Keep your message simple.

Mailing 1

"I am interested in buying your house"

Mailing 2

Did you get my letter last month?

Mailing 3

My name is and I help people with get out of debt, payoff liens,....

call or visit my website

Mailing 4

Testimonial of someone you have helped out

The above are ideas to get your juices going but you need to create a campaign and stick to it. Your response rate will increase with each mailing.

Remember 95% of your competition will quit.

Welcome @Sara McGrath to BP great place to grow your knowledge and your network. Wish you the best!

Banks don't operate logically. All you can do is make your offer and counter. If they don't take it then move on to the next property. Stick to your numbers.
