If you're a newcomer to this world, this podcast is specifically designed for you. Here's what you can look forward to: Wholesaling 101: We break down the ABCs of wholesaling. And no, 'B' doesn't stand for 'Boring.' Beginner’s Bootcamp: Think of this as your training wheels in real estate, only a lot less embarrassing than the ones on your childhood bike.
