I am new to real estate, or should i say, new to becoming an action person. I have read and read so much about real estate my eyes hurt. I go from one area to another never knowing what is best for my circumstances. I will be 50 years old next Wednsday and i do not intend to go out without a fight. I have bought a couple of condos and rehabbed, just when the market went out from under me when i finished the last one. Didn’t make much, got out by the skin of my teeth. My credit is not too good, due to bad decisions. I am willing to work harder than i ever have in my life to succeed in real estate. I have been a property manager for 6 years, worked for a not too nice investor( he didn’t care who he stepped on). I am presently working for a builder (see how i stay in the industry).
Again a very stressful boss. Got to get out of the working for someone else scerno. I believe i should start out wholesaling.
What i need is some help in how do i find buyers. Please someone help me get my feet wet. I have seen a few good properties, and watched them sell away because i just didn’t know how to get started with finding buyers. Just moved a few months ago to central fl. One thing i am is a good negoitator, not worried about knocking on doors for a good deal. Any help woudl be most appreciated.
oreodib,
If you are going to wholesale, then you need to meet the serious investors in your area. I would start with your local REIA (Real Estate Investors Association).

(I turn 50 this coming Sunday, so you’re about 3 days older than I am)
I feel better knowing there are others that are just getting started in real estate investing that are in their 40s and 50s. Propertymanagers advise is solid. Meet and talk to other investors in your area. They will be your best contacts for finding buyers for the wholesale deals.
Keith, I had you figured for one of those 20-something know it alls! :bobble Best of luck to you all.
Hey Keith, I got you something for your bday…
Nope…old and stoopit…

Hey kdhastedt
Sorry but you are OLDER I turn that age on the 27th. So now i know your older, please give me some eldery advise. Are there any investors in Ocala florida? I am thinking of getting pre foreclosures, can i wholesale those?
You’re right…now don’t I just feel ancient!
As far as investors in Ocala, I would guess that there must be, there are investors just about everywhere…
As long as you buy from the owner at a decent price, you should be able to wholesale pre-foreclosures – you just have to leave enough ‘room’ for the end-sellers to work with
