I’m excited to get started but I read somewhere that a lot agents fail within their first year due to picking the wrong broker.

They fail to take into account property management cost, maintenance cost, and capital expenditures.

I'm too scared to try out of state investing as I failed on my last attempt(made some rookie mistakes and learned a ton).But then I hear other option like funding someone else's deal or partnering on a deal, which outside my comfort zone as well but always willing to learn. 

Guess what, in this business you ARE GOING TO FAIL. 

I kind of assume that Flood Cert (if needed), MERS, Tax Service Fee, etc. are all required on any given loan, and the LoanDepot estimate is just failing to disclose that. 

Purchase price: $61,700 Cash invested: $6,000 After failing miserably on my first deal and losing thousands of dollars, my second deal came relatively easy and was a quick win!

Regarding your statement that "you should not lay your hands on any of the money at all, so the QI would not be cutting you a check", let me ask you this:  what happens to the funds if you fail to id a property in 45 days or close within 180 days, or fail to use all the proceeds from the sale, but do use a portion of the proceeds from the sale on replacement property? 

We’re you using any high draw or flaky equipment when it failed?

You may have to connect with and send a pm as contacting with every one of them at one time would be considered spamming and some of your privileges restricted.Another way to gain experience is read blogs , go on wholesale sub-forums on BP, Ask questions on here, watch lots of videos and dive in head first, fail , start all over from failure till you get it right.  

Also, the rule that within one year 90% of businesses fail is especially true of wholesaling real property.Here are the facts that the people pushing mentorships, courses, books and sponsorships concerned with wholesaling fail to mention1.
