I'm looking to wholesale real estate in the Williamsburg Va. and surrounding areas..Want to learn more about virtual wholesaling..I need to  find friends...I did a little bit of wholesaling 10 years ago in Penn using Ron Legrand's program..I had a partner; and together we worked the German town area of Philly and such...I loved it; but had to leave...If anyone has any info...please help...I am currently a stay at home mom...I hope your day is pleasant...

Quote from @German E.: Hi Dennis, I'm writing about a month after you wrote your post, so this might be too late to help you decide.  

I don't know if this is germane to your situation but one thing I learned is that every partner has to be an active member in the deal because if a partner is just passively putting in money then it technically becomes a security which means you need a securities lawyer and things get more complicated... and expensive. 

Most Germans rent, not because they can't afford to buy, but because it is sometimes more convenient, and it is more socially acceptable to do so than in the US.

My wife Tatiana is Polish/German and just recently passed the AZ Real Estate Sales exam and is going through the process of settling in with a broker.

The german real estate landscape is very very different from what you are used to.

And unlike most on BP I think much of the material is germane.. but no material is germane to all markets..

my experince on the west coast is probably not germane to your market.. although I would say most jurisdictions have some serious teeth when it comes to handling private waste systems..

Anyways, we have an awesome meeting coming up on November 10th, check out our Meetup page for more details and/or to RSVP. http://www.meetup.com/CAREIA/events/196668742/ We have special guest multi-millionaire Darwin German from Dallas, Texas coming out to teach our members and guests about Apartment and Commercial Investing.

My husband and I like a house with a huge yard that my German shepherd moo moo adores.
