Even if you don’t buy outright, your wholesaling, you will need to put some money down for the rights.  

Leverage your FL/AZ wholesaling chops for off‑market in 2–3 Ohio ZIPs, but price to hold: cash flow first, flips second.

On top of that, saving aggressively at your age will give you a big advantage when you’re ready to jump into real estate or other businesses.I’d also explore side hustles or ways to get into real estate now like wholesaling, flips, or even a house hack if you can.

The answer is experience.The biggest red flag in your scenario was that you don't have money in reserves and you're trying to bring in a gap for the reserves.If this is a good deal, you're better off wholesaling it or assigning it to somebody for a fee so that you can build up some reserves.

If you were to ask me three years ago when I was just starting out in wholesaling/real estate in general, where I would be now, I would have never guessed.

Hello,My name is Jovanny based out of Los Angeles, CA.Currently educating myself while I trying to build capital.Looking into starting with Wholesaling to help me build and then attempting to fix & flip. 

What is your opinion about wholesaling? 

Wholesaling: Where I’m StartingI’ve been deep in the creative finance world the last few weeks, and it’s fascinating.

So back in the late 90s I had to run at wholesaling, did over 100 houses.

I’m new to real estate investing and would like to start with Wholesaling with the aim of taking on fix and flip as well as short term rentals later.
