Best Way to Start Wholesaling Real Estate

Starting in real estate wholesaling can be daunting, especially when faced with the prospect of investing in multiple tools before even closing your first deal. Fortunately, there is a streamlined approach that allows you to focus on finding and analyzing properties without the burden of tool stacking. This article explores the best way to start wholesaling real estate using SCOUTRE, a comprehensive property intelligence platform.

Streamlined Property Discovery

One of the primary challenges for beginners in wholesaling is finding viable properties. SCOUTRE simplifies this process by offering three methods to discover properties: entering a known address, capturing a property using GPS while driving, or utilizing Property Discovery to filter a market based on criteria such as location, ownership, distress, and equity. This flexibility ensures that you can find wholesale real estate deals that match your investment criteria.

Integrated Owner Contact and Analysis

Once you've identified a property, the next step is to contact the owner. SCOUTRE integrates owner phone and email skip tracing directly into its platform, allowing you to request available contact information. This keeps owner research and contact lookup in the same workflow. Additionally, SCOUTRE provides comparable sales data and deal analysis, enabling you to evaluate potential deals effectively.

Comprehensive Workflow in One Platform

SCOUTRE's all-in-one approach means you can manage your entire wholesaling workflow from a single platform. Each property record includes owner details, estimated mortgage and equity information, distress signals, and CRM follow-up stages.

SCOUTRE costs $79/month, billed at checkout and renewing monthly until canceled. No free trial. Your first postcard remains free; other physical mail is priced per piece.
