Hi! Have you asked your laywer? Bet he has some templates. 
I also think there is a template under the BP fileplace. 

Good luck

I'm not in your area, but I just had to comment saying that this is a great approach to learn how it works. Love it

And if this post doesn't provide any fruit i'd suggest you contact the top players in your area saying exactely this to them. 

Good luck!!

Hi and welcome!! I'm no expert on wholesaling, but this book really helped me get a basic understanding of how it all works: http://get.biggerpockets.com/nomoneydown/. It includes a lot more than just wholesaling, but there are several chapters in it just on wholesaling. Might be worth looking at

Good luck!!

What a great opportunity! This definitely opens up a lot of possibilities. I myself are currently researching Indianapolis considering purchasing a turnkey property there. I can shoot you a PM with further info when I have something more concrete and if I decide to pursue it. Anyways it might be worth looking into for you aswell

Good luck!!

Welcome!

There's a lot of different opinions out there on how you should go about when building your buyers list. Some suggest having 5000 buyers on it and blasting out a email to'em when you got something, while others just focus on a handful of buyers and give them a call personally when you have something they might be interested in.

In my opinion, the latter is what i'd suggest. Develop good relationships with the top players in your area who are serious and regularly pick up properties. Then, when you have something, you can simply give them a call saying you might have something they would be interested in. If their serious, and your deal is good, chances are they'll buy.

On the other hand, if you go with the first approach and build this massive list, you gotta spend a lot more time trying to unload a property due to contacting A LOT of unserious buyers, answering their calls, showing property, etc.

Both works and I have heard a lot of good arguments for both options, but developing good relationships with the serious players is what i'd suggest you give a try. 

Good luck

Nice, great initiative. I'm from Oslo, Norway and when I found BP there weren't any "official" BP meetups here so a few BP members and I got together and created one. Really great way to learn

Good luck

@Jason Hardin

I see. Well then BP is the perfect place to get a picture of how it all works. If this post doesn't give you any fruit try to post a new post and clearly say what they will get out of showing you the ropes

Hope you find someone to show you, wish you all the best
