Quote from @Eric Lyles:

Hello,

I’m looking for other real estate investors to connect with and bounce ideas off of. I have an apartment building and don’t have many friends that are in this realm to vent to. It’s quite a struggle when you’re just getting by on your own. If anyone would like to connect on a friend level and share experiences that would be awesome. Two eyes and ears are better than one when dealt with certain challenges. 

Thanks


 Hi Eric! Hope you've made many friends since this post! I'll send over a connection request!

@Alexander Lambert

Welcome to BPs! I started off as an agent as well before I got into my own real estate investing and wholesaling deals I didn't take down myself. If you ever need or advice, feel free to reach out!

Good luck out there!

Quote from @Adrianna Smith:

Hi! I'm Adrianna and I am new to the wholesaling journey but I bring 10+ years corporate finance experience with my own entrepreneurial pursuits the past 7 years. I have experience with my own personal real estate ownership from building to selling and now renting. I believe my skillset will be valuable in this space but the only missing piece for me currently is getting connected to other experienced wholesalers. I am hoping to connect and potentially shadow and do some JV deals as I continue to learn the ropes. If you'd like to connect please comment here or send me a message. Looking forward to the journey ahead!


 Welcome to the club! Always open to connecting and I have some partners that operate out of Columbus as well. If you need help getting started feel free to reach out. I'd be happy help with coming up with a workflow or answering any specific questions you have when it comes to getting started!

#2, I'll take someone with great references any day of the week. 

When I ran my own PM company I always prospect 2s were the best to work with and great at giving me referrals.

100% on it. 

I definitely find my self saying "It's 1pm ALREADY!?" because 7:30am-12pm goes by so fast. I am 100% more productive in the mornings.

Post: Wholesaler Won’t Sign Cancellation – Seller Backed Out

Whenever this happens we normally enforce the contract and sue for specific performance. 

Depends on the situation of course but 90% of the time it's the Seller just trying to get a better offer in which case we don't back down. 

If it's a unique situation where the Seller can no longer sell then we normally just cancel the contract all together as long as the buyer is ok with not pursuing for specific performance.

Hey @Elliot Angus,

I would check out Kixie or Ready mode. Great dialer systems with high connection rates. They do a great job keeping their numbers verified and cycling through ones that have been marked as spam.
