OfflineCan a new person still succeed in wholesaling? Especially one who is new, and alone without an agent or team in place? Are all the properties going to the bigger sharks? Its almost impossible to get to a property first....then, if u are so lucky, its hard to get it locked on ur price. It seems as the more established, seasoned veterans, with power teams, power connections, and money & credit will nab all the properties for certain.
I know the bigger sharks will surely disagree. But does anyone else feel the same?

First off if I were you get deans two books "Be a real estate millionaire and profit from real estate right now. Then read them and any self help repair books from roofing to foundation and everything in-between. Get an agent, I suggest someone a little new with at least 1 years experience maybe 2. This allows them to be more flexible and understanding of mistakes as they are still making some themselves and are willing to learn, fail, and keep going. While interviewing agents, go to title companies and make sure they will close on assignments, back-to-back closing, and the IEE method you can find the forms here if you look for them hard enough (use search bar, that is how I find everything). Once you have these two things your ready to go. I'd also suggest a mortgage broker and 2012 Craftsman Site License to estimate rehab costs for first offer then back it up with a free estimate from a general contractor (google search ones closest is better then yellow pages I've discovered).
Let the contractors know if they give you legit written estimates of rehab costs (you will know thx to the site license it wont be far from whats shown there) you will suggest that your end buyer use them. Why does that matter? BECAUSE they do most of their work through referrals. I like to use general contractors as my free appraisers. It isn't the same as a real appraiser, but if they have some years under their belt they are pretty close to as good as one in my humble opinion.
Follow this, what you find in deans books, and everything on this site you will be super!
and...NEVER GIVE UP!
no really don't it will be really hard starting I've been doing this for only around two months and it is hard, but worth it!
Happy holidays

Yes you can do it, I am proof, Carol Stinson is proof and Matt Larson is proof, along with MANY other DG.com members who are making money hand over foot because we won't be denied!
I started with nothing and there is NO WAY the bigger sharks are getting all the deals! They are everywhere! You can't cast a net big enough to get them all!

I would like to know where your "big sharks" are? Those are the guys you are going to wholesale to! I wish I had big sharks where we live, just little guppies.
Scoot over, I want to network with your sharks!

Networking is the key. As you start to network through investment clubs, online advertising, referrals etc. Doors will open up! You will be surprised how things will begin to blossom and grow BUT you have to take action. It is scary and you feel outnumbered and inferior to the big players. Honestly...it doesn't matter whether you've been in real estate for 5 yrs or 5 mins, if you have a deal and the numbers are right - any investor will jump on it. You can do this. Start small, take it step by step and you will get there. Continue to be active on dg.com. This is a great website to get advice, encouragement and support.
Good Luck
