Their goal was to partner with their students on flips, wholesale deals, etc.

In parallel, become a “certain buyer” to wholesalers/agents with a clear buy box, proof of funds, and fast yes/no; say no to anything that won’t cash flow on conservative numbers.

Capitalization - the successful wholesalers I know spend $10k per month on marketing.  

Now, you don't say if the plan is to keep it or sell it...so maybe the last 2 "R's" will be different but here's what you need to know about buying and rehabbing a home (to flip or to keep):BRRRR SKILLS NEEDEDGenerally speaking you will need several things to successfully complete a BRRRR: ARV - being able to calculate the Value on your own (meaning, without the wholesaler telling you the value) is really important.

You can also connect with local agents, wholesalers (with zero experience I would recommend starting out with an investor-friendly agent), contractors, and lenders at these events.

Hey Danielle, Ive been doing wholesale real estate full time for 3 years now.

Access to pocket deals / distressed inventory.Investor-friendly brokers often work directly with wholesalers, tired landlords, and distressed sellers.

I’d be happy to help you explore multifamily options and share what financing would make the most sense for your goals.To hit your questions one by one:• I’m a mortgage broker, not a direct lender — that means I shop multiple wholesale lenders to find the best rates, terms, and programs for each client.• I offer a full range of conventional, DSCR, investor cash flow, bank statement, and portfolio multifamily loans.• Yes, I can communicate directly with listing agents to help strengthen your offer and show that financing is solid.• The money I lend comes from reputable wholesale lenders and banks I’m approved with — all underwritten through standard agency or investor guidelines.• For down payment assistance, those are generally limited to owner-occupied deals — happy to run through what’s available if you plan to live in one of the units.• To start, I’d just need some basic info about your goals, income, credit, and property type — we can figure out the best fit from there.• Pre-approvals usually take 24 hours or less once I have the necessary info.• Yes, I have rate lock programs available through several of my lenders.• I can absolutely share references and reviews from clients, including some who are active here on BiggerPockets.• And yes, I regularly connect clients with investor-friendly agents, property managers, and insurance pros in the area.If you’d like, we can set up a quick call or Zoom to talk through what you’re looking for and get you pre-approved.– David Stephens

Even with years of RE experience, I know the investing side is a different skill set, and I’m motivated to learn it the right way.I’m especially looking to connect with:• Wholesalers in Staten Island• Local investors doing flips or BRRRR• Anyone open to sharing advice or partnering on opportunitiesI’m straightforward, numbers-focused, and hungry to take action.Excited to this big community.
