brand new to wholesaling I feel stuck and unproductive.
Im 17 and urgently need a way to make money so I can quit this God forsaken job and stop hating my life.
Sorry to sound so whiney. I've been trying my best for about a month now, I learned everything I could in a week and decided to start with vacant tax delinquent land in Nashville Tn. I've called a couple buyers and a few sellers, the buyers gave me very vague information on what they were looking for but it was probably my fault for not asking the right questions. I did however, get in contact with a very helpful investor who used to be a wholesaler years ago, he helped me run comps and explained a bunch of stuff on some possible deals. Still haven't even gotten close to getting a contract signed though, mostly because I barely have free time to do anything.
I've wanted to start wholesaling since I was 15, I even printed out contracts at my mom's old apartment office we used to live at lol. life got in the way of that though, due to financial problems I dropped out and moved away from my friends and family in sophomore year and I started working with my older brother (who I barely knew at the time). we sandblast, pressure wash and paint water towers, its an exhausting job that regularly takes 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week. I doubt its legal for me to work here under 18, Ive spent everyday for the last 2 years missing my friends and cousins, missing out on things like birthdays, graduations, prom, going out, being able to have a gf, and basically missing out on being a teen. But this is where life put me and no one is coming to save me, Im tired of this life, I need a change and I've realized only I can do something about it.
Im at a point where idek if vacant land was a good choice or if Nashville was the right place to start because Im having so much trouble pulling county list, Im doing the most I can but I rarely have any free time at all, and when I do have free time I try to get as much information as I can just watching YouTube tutorials. I reached out to 2 friends to help me look for land and comp properties but they are simply not as serious as I am about this, they don't try to learn as much as they should and I end up having to explain things I told them to research even though I barely know anything about wholesaling, I don't blame them, they aren't in my shoes and don't need this to work as badly as I do. Im not sure what to do anymore but I definitely won't stop, I just need a clear idea of where to start. I haven't spent any money on this yet but im definitely willing to. I don't want to waste my money, I need to be sure that I invest in something worth the money and that I'll know how to use it. if anyone out there has been in a similar position where you have money to invest but not sure where to put it, PLEASE help me out, what worked for you? ill take any and all advice from anyone, is Nashville a good enough market? If not, how do I find a good market? should I try PPL? PPC? or try harder in county list? should I worry about getting builder lists first or contracts? what are some problems I can run into? how should I prepare myself for those problem? is vacant land the move? or houses? any and all advice will help. please and thank you God bless.
