Hi, I'm a wholesaler. I think @Crystal Smith said it best. You should have leads coming in from as many sources as possible. My team will beat out most MLS deals you see. We have more experience, we operate on a bigger scale and can move faster. We do cold calls, online marketing and sometimes even door knocking to find motivated sellers. You mentioned that it may crowd your email, just make an email specifically for receiving real estate deals. Better to see it and choose not to move forward with it than to not see it and have no power and no decision.

Congrats on owning a rental with zero debt. I would scale a bit by either pulling out your money and flipping a property to make a bit more money in order to buy another rental with a good amount of money down or just outright buy another rental. I prefer to buy homes that i can add value to before renting them, either by renovating a kitchen or bathrooms or making the curbside appeal slightly better. Google and Pinterest are your #1 friends when it comes to ideas. As for the LLC, I wouldn't bother, you can do that if you want to for "protection" but you only have one door so its not a huge deal.

You got this!! Education, action, education, action. Its balance, one needs the other to make progress. @Manny Vasquez dropped some great tips so I'm just her for moral support. Go Stacy!!

Hi everyone, I work for a reputable wholesaler and we have a lot of fix-and-flip as well as fix-and-hold investment opportunities in Georgia. From single family homes, turnkey rentals, land deals to multi family properties. We move 20 properties every month and have an inventory worth taking a look at. Message me to learn more :)

You didn't hear this from me but you can buy a property in the country, get it appraised for slightly more and put it under a conservation easement and write off the entire thing... The filthy rich do that in remote areas and go through a company that is very experienced in doing that because it is also one of the most audited things by the IRS.

What if the its not under an LLC? What if its a trust or its a single LLC for that individual property and the name and phone number that shows up is of the registering agent? Is there a way to bypass that? I'm late to the party but just curious if you guys have overcome this.

Our service stretches from north Georgia all the way up in the blue ridge mountains down to Macon GA. We cover east to west all the way to the state lines. We have two offices with 15 acquisition agents who are submitting 500 offers every month to find the best deals available for our investors. We put in the a lot of work by doing direct mailers, cold calling, online ads and more to reach motivated sellers. 

Hi everyone, I am a part of the New Western team. We are one of the biggest wholesalers in the nation. I am based out of Atlanta GA and can present 20-30 off market properties in Atlanta and the metropolitan area. 

My services are free and my team and I provide a ton of resources to empower investors. From a list of contractors, tax professionals, agents, etc. I love teaching new investors and even holding their hand through the first couple flips. We have a marketplace website similar to Zillow but exclusively for our off-market properties. Please reach out to me and I can give you access so you can at least see what we have to offer.

Hi @Joy Christina not sure how you feel about wholesalers. I am a part of New Western's team, we are one of the biggest wholesalers in the nation and I am happy to pitch it to our hundreds of investors. Our network is huge and can probably get it bid up if we do a one hour showing next week. 

If not, i think everyone else in herer gave you great alternatives (facebook, craigslist, FSBO,etc). However, a lot of wholesalers will reach out to you once you put it on FB and CL.

I am very surprised by this. I think contractors are everywhere, literally drive around or do a google or facebook search and vet them. Finding a good one might be a different discussion because it depends on how you define "good". "Good" doesn't mean cheap, "good" to me, means reasonable prices with quality finishes, good time management, adequate experience and no cutting corners. I personally believe its harder to find a great tax professional who doesnt just know the basics. I often find myself knowing more than my tax professionals and that to me is not a good sign.
