Why I Flipped Before I Wholesaled (and What It Taught Me)

Most new investors start with wholesaling because it's the quickest way to learn and earn. I did the opposite: I jumped straight into flipping.

That meant lining up money, managing contractors, navigating permits and rehabs, all before I I understood how to find and sell deals fast.

Then I noticed something that stung: wholesalers I was buying from often made the same profit in a month that I did in six. And when I tried to wholesale myself, I froze. I told sellers, "I'm not actually going to buy this," because I didn't have buyers lined up. Deals slipped through my fingers.

Here's what fixed it:

- Start with two or three reliable buyers. Ask them what they want, where they invest and their price range.

- Understand their exit plans so you know how to structure offers.

- Be upfront on seller calls because you actually have partners ready.

As soon as I built those relationships, my confidence returned, deals moved faster, and I could focus on serving families and building a legacy. If you'd like the simple script I used to find my first buyers, just drop a "BUYERS" below or DM me. I'm happy to share.
