Quote from @Amish J Patel: I would know your state and local laws in detail for landlord and tenant rights.

Spend time learning the lay of the land - it will serve you in future investments as well.

Starting with wholesaling is a smart move if you have limited capital since it helps you build knowledge, cash, and connections without needing to buy property right away.Here are a few quick tips as you get going:* Focus on lead generation-driving for dollars, networking with tired landlords, or pulling niche lists (like vacant or absentee owners) can all be low-cost ways to start.* Build a solid buyers list early-cash buyers are key to moving deals fast.* Learn your market well-knowing what investors are willing to pay in your area will help you lock up contracts that actually move.* Don’t be afraid to partner with other wholesalers at first to gain experience and share deals.As you grow, you can easily pivot into buy & hold, flips, or even creative finance strategies using the capital and skills you gain from wholesaling.You’re in the right place to learn and build those long-term relationships.

You'll also want to make sure you do plenty of your own research on the various markets in the state you're looking to buy in. 

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

This could be a local realtor, investor, contractor, appraiser, property manager, whatever.It also means having what you're offering ready and tailored to the individual.

Quote from @Keira Hamilton: Here are 5 lessons I learned from selling my laundromat last year that can help you as a prospective business buyer.Lesson 1️⃣ - Listing sites can be a legitimate way to buy and sell a business.I will often hear people say that they’re not even going on listing sites because “they only have bottom of the barrel listings,” but this has not been my personal experience.

Would appreciate any tips or lessons learned! 

The good things about this contract are: a) escrow/title are very familiar with it, and b) it contains decades of "lessons learned" in the language.You can also search for "flat fee" seller agents, who are very familiar with this contract (typically more so than attorneys), or look for a transaction coordinator that works with FSBO.

The BP podcasts are a great way to learn, but connecting with other investors can really level things up.
