I am interested in reviewing the 'lessons learned' from your wholesaling experience.  What has worked well for you and what has not worked well.  Of course this applies to all facets of your business e.g. marketing, negotiating, closing, etc. My wife and I are new to wholesaling and I being very process oriented want to establish a system in which we can measure our successes and failures.  Because we're new, the feedback from 'lessons learned' will help us establish our initial framework.

Thank you both for the feedback.  Both interesting and insightful.  I suspect my wife and I will eventually get connected with a mentor as we continue to become more involved in the community.  We're very eager to get started with the business and are making every effort to ensure we're setting up ourselves to succeed.  Having mentorship along the way would appear to help.

My wife and I are in the beginning stages of starting our wholesale real estate business.  We're really excited for the opportunity to work together as a team and the freedom this type of work will seemingly provide for our family. We've watched many videos online and have read through several blog posts on wholesaling and much of what we've read encourages new investors to seek mentorship.  While I find value in working with experienced professionals I am skeptical to spend large sums of money for mentorship right out the gate.  My question is 'who here has succeeded in absence of a mentor' and similarly 'who here has failed and this failure can be directly attributed to the mentor'.
