Hello everyone! My name is Vickie, and I live in East Texas. I am excited to be a part of this group. I'm here to learn how to wholesale houses and vacant land and eventually turn that knowledge into income and generation wealth. Texas is challenging to me because it's a tax deed state with statutory right of redemption for certain properties. I'm new to the business and have my share of naysayers. But I'm 66 years young, determined, and not afraid to learn something new. I didn't come here just to watch from the sidelines. I'm here to learn, take action, and get deals done!

Glad to be here, appreciate the teachings so far. Can I ask for some Love from the Community so I can get to Level 2 Thanks.

ZERO TO HERO: Your First Real Estate Wholesale Deal — From Finding Leads to Getting Paid! Hey everyone! I'm Ali, and I've been working in U.S. real estate wholesaling for the past year. I strongly believe in networking, sharing knowledge, and growing together. So here's a simple roadmap for anyone looking to get started in wholesaling, even with little to no budget! 1. Find Your Leads (FREE) - PropWire: Find potential off-market property leads. - County Websites: Use public records to identify potential motivated sellers. - Ninja Skip Tracing: Explore the free tier, which may offer around 60 skip traces without requiring a credit card. 2. Use Zillow as Another Lead Source - Focus on ONE state initially. - Visit Zillow's For Sale By Owner (FSBO) section. - Find potential sellers and their contact information. - You can also contact agents about their listed properties. 3. Contact Sellers & Make Offers - Use a dialer to call potential sellers. - Email can work for agent-listed properties. - Understand the seller's situation and negotiate. - Use the 70% rule as an initial reference, but calculate your offer using comps, repairs, and your end buyer's numbers. 4. Get the Property Under Contract - Negotiate the purchase price. - Sign a purchase agreement. - Include an appropriate assignment clause. - Make sure your contract complies with local laws. 5. Find Your Cash Buyer Some free ways to find buyers: - Facebook Real Estate Groups. - Craigslist. - InvestorBase. - JV partnerships with other wholesalers. - Networking with established investors who already have cash buyers. 6. Close the Deal & Get Paid - Send the contract to a wholesale-friendly title company. - Prepare the assignment agreement if applicable. - Let the title company coordinate closing. - Once the transaction closes, receive your agreed assignment fee! The Process: Lead Generation → Skip Tracing → Seller Outreach → Negotiation → Contract → Cash Buyer → Assignment → Title Company → Closing → Getting Paid!

Jamiyah Woodard is this week's Member of the Week. @Jamiyah Woodard picked up her third piece of land this year, one acre for $2,800, and told the room exactly how she found it, a trip to the courthouse to pull records. Three pieces in, that is not luck, that is a real process she keeps running. This is what gets you noticed here. Keep doing the work that gets results, and tell the room how you did it so the next person can copy it.
