Meet Tyler. Tyler Toubeau started working with me when he had already spent a year and a half of time, $30,000 in real estate courses, and $12,000+ on marketing trying to get his first wholesale deal. Unfortunately, Tyler was not able to get his first wholesale deal alone in those 18 months.

He attended workshops just like you did and was very skeptical. Tyler knew that if he didn’t make a change in his life that nothing was going to change and he decided to trust me and the process and jump right in.

After a year and a half of spinning his wheels, he started working with me and completed his first wholesale deal WITHIN 3 WEEKS!

Tyler did an amazing job on this wholesale deal and has now completed multiple other wholesale deals, as well!

This video is perfect for you if you’ve ever wondered, “How am I going to get my first wholesale deal?”

In this video you’ll see:

Hey everyone, it's Alex Martinez and today I'm going to talk about my first real estate deal. So let me take you back to when I was 19 years old, so I wasn't in real estate at 19 years old, I didn't know anything about real estate. What I was doing was, I was actually making sandwiches, and I was making sandwiches for 10 bucks an hour while going to school full-time, so I was working about 25 hours a week, going to school full-time. So I'd go to class and then I'd go make sandwiches all day and I'd come home every night...

Hey, everyone, it's Alex Martinez, and today, we're going over the most important thing as a real estate investor.

When a lot of people look at real estate investing, and look at entrepreneurship, they look at it as something that's a little risky.

What we do, as real estate investors and entrepreneurs is, is mitigate and lower our risk as much as possible, and then, make calculated decisions after that.

The most important thing, as a real estate investor, when...

Hey, guys, What's up? It's Alex Martinez, and today's video is How to Talk to Cash Buyers and Find Their Buying Criteria.

First off, cash buyers are the real estate investors that are going to buy your wholesale real estate deals. They are most likely renovators or flippers that want to purchase a property, renovate it and resell it for a profit. You get paid by bringing them this nice deal that you get under contract, and then you sell that contract or assign that contract to them for $10,000 plus. Cash buyers want you, and you need cash buyers to buy your property with all cash.

So, you may be asking, "How do I find cash buyers?" I previously made a video on how to find cash buyers in your area in one minute or less, so definitely check that out, but some other ways are to go to your local real estate investing association, and there you can meet cash buyers. Also, when you see bandit signs on the side of the road, give them a call, because there's most likely cash buyers on the...

Knowing what “not to do” can be just as important as knowing what “to do” when wholesaling houses. Wholesaling is an easy profitable way for beginning real estate investors to get started in real estate investing but doing (or not doing) certain things can add or subtract from your bottom line, or even “make or break” a deal.

When wholesaling houses, keep these strategies in mind…

1. Don’t send a purchase offer without an inspection contingency clause.

DO: Put an inspection contingency clause on each and every offer you submit when wholesale real estate investing. An inspection contingency clause protects you if there is anything wrong with the property that does not pass your inspection. This allows you to legally cancel on the deal, or negotiate the purchase price due to the repairs needed on the property.

Over the years, many people have reached out to me who have had extremely angry sellers because the offers they...
