    Good Job. Just don't overwhelm yourself with a ton of other niches while you are learning and growing your business. I promise you will miss a ton more opportunity.

    Who has taken massive action and made at least 100k from something learned exclusively here on the forum?

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I was drawn to this idea to post this after reading an old message that I had not checked. I created a thread in 2000 about real estate wholesaling and at least 1 person took action and thanked me as he was on schedule to quit his job by building upon the information I provided. Hopefully, my...

    EXECUTION 
    Yes but remember your contract should state that you have the "option" to buy or assign the contract. You can't get anymore honest than that and in my experience, the seller usually doesn't care as long as they get the homes old on the date you guys agree upon.

    Is it tacky to talk about MONEY and INCOME?

    Point: Sometimes we don't do things (or talk about things) that we want to, need to or just have a desire to because we fear what others may think, say or do because they are uncomfortable with it. Sometimes you have to just say F&*k It! "Hey uncle Bob tell me how the hell you got so rich? I'm...

    EXECUTION 
    As I am sure you know NY is competitive but doable. But wholesaling like any other business is a specialized skill set. As for why most realtors don't do this, I would say for the same reason many people still punch a clock everyday with all of this free information available to help them to...

    Great point. Yes I agree wholeheartedly with building a REAL business. Thank you for saying this. The example I used here is for someone looking to just get his/her foot in the door and doesn't have a lot of cash to start with. Or want's or maybe even needs to make more than what they earn on...

    Sorry for the delay. I try to do more "doing" than talking these days. Does Jeff contact Jack through email, postal mail, or knocking on the door (or some combination?) The best answer to this question is whichever way you find works most efficiently for you and your process. If you are a face...

    Yes but the art is in the science. You are NOT finding a cheap home, you are finding a situation that lends itself to you creating an opportunity for you and an end buyer. Cheap is relative to ARV, location, negotiation skills and ability to disposition your inventory.

    I don't know about the laws in the UK so I can't say one way or another but I do know of quite a few people that wholesale deals here that live in other countries. That is always there for sure, not only on the assignment contract but the option to purchase contract as well.. But if someone is...

    There are more than enough buyers if you take the time to know your numbers and neighborhoods. Again, you have already begun to build relationships with buyers by stopping by to talk to them at the homes you see being fixed and flipped. Or going to your local REIAs and meetups to introduce...

    Your first deal is always your hardest. Find some empty and/or distressed "off market" houses, go to the county tax assesor's site, and get the owner's name and address. FYI I don't target homes that are owned by corporations or LLCs. Send them a simple letter like the one below and be...

    Oh is that so? Yes those things work when you want to scale but mindset is everything. Every neighborhood has a situation waiting for a solution. Let me ask you this, even if it takes you driving for hours to find the right deal how much time does it take you at your job to make 10K? Just...

    Several successful closings since since 2003 but my first wholesale deal was around 2007. And yes I still use this strategy along with a few others like subject-to deals etc.
