      FOREWORD

      This is a guide for those who would want to learn how to wholesale real estate and achieve financial freedom by doing so. Since you are reading this, I know you are very eager to learn and ready to begin and get your wholesaling business up, running and growing in bursts.

      However, this guide will not make you a millionaire overnight.

      This is not a get rich quick scheme where you’re guaranteed to have your first wholesale deal tomorrow complete with a fifty thousand dollar check in an instant.

      Carrying-out actions is the next step after reading this guide.

      Here, you will learn all about the life of real estate investing.

      I will share how I got into real estate with no experience whatsoever and how, despite this, I wholesaled more than twenty-five deals on my first year in business implementing a unique system I created myself. I personally developed my unique strategies in marketing, as well as my own brand of working and leveraging virtual assistants.

      In addition, before we start, I would recommend not to just read my guide. There are many great contents out there on wholesaling and this is just one piece. I’ve found each piece has a little difference from the next from the many books I own and read, as well as different courses on real estate I have studied. Implement every piece as you can and never limit your knowledge!

      Let’s get the ball rolling, shall we?

      In The Beginning…The Story Of How I Got Started

      My name is Antonio Edwards.

      Believe it or not, I was in the music business for nearly a decade before I became a full-time real estate investor.

      I was a sixteen year old high school kid, when I started making and producing tracks for artists. I loved it and vowed to do it full time when I had the chance.

      After high school, I took a back-breaking full time job as a delivery truck driver for copier machines. I worked long hours, driving, loading and unloading my cargo.

      But I never forgot my passion.

      I would come home from a long hard working day with melodies and harmonies pumping in my head and ready to be released on tracks.

      In 2006, I decided I need to take my music career more earnestly so I quit my dead end job and took my music career to a new level.

      I formed Prolific Productions, LLC and began producing and submitting tracks to major record labels and selling beats to independent ones.

      It was hard work but I was having fun. I was doing what I was passionate about.

      I travelled a lot, stayed in fancy hotels and met with a lot of people in the business. I simply crushed it.

      Next thing I know, I was already in major labels working with respectable artists such as Shawty Lo, Busta Rhymes, Young Dro, Governor, Twista, Michelle Williams (you can google if you haven’t heard of them) just to name a few.

      During my off times, during plane rides or while waiting for appointments, I read books like “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, “The Millionaire’s Mind”, “Think & Grow Rich”.

      I figured I was a businessman now so I need to smarten up and start thinking like one.

      That’s when I noticed these books have one thing in common…

      REAL ESTATE.

      That definitely gave me an idea.

      After a year, I bought my first house and built a studio next to it and began taking in my own sessions to generate steady income. It was also at about that time I started attending little seminars about real estate where speakers would bring up wholesaling. I’m like, “That seems too good to be true”.

      I was intrigued but I knew that I would not be able to do real estate and music at the same time. I began finding myself hanging around in my studio thinking about real estate or have my head hanging eager to read the “new” real estate investing book in my bag that I just bought.

      After two years, right about at the end of summer 2009, I have made up my mind.

      I decided to leave my music career and start my real estate business and do it full-time.

      At that moment, I didn’t really realize how bold it was to venture in a new full-time career. When I look back, I can’t help but tell myself, “Wow! I had guts. That was a bold move!”

      Months prior to getting out of my music career, I met a fellow who had “We buy Houses” at the back of his truck. We met when he stopped by after noticing a “We buy Houses” magnet stuck on my car.

      He asked me if I was an investor. I said, “No, I do music and my studio is here, but I’m interested in real estate investing.” He gave me his card and said, “If you know anybody who sells a house, give them my information”.

      The guy’s name is Kris Haskins. He’s a seasoned real estate guru who was also previously in the music industry.

      What a coincidence!

      It’s funny how people are put into your life at the right time. I kept in touch with Kris partly because we were both familiar with the music industry but mostly because I wanted to learn real estate investing from him.

      He told me, “Music is a rough business, so I got out and invested in a Real Estate instead”. That’s when I realized I did not only gain a friend in Kris – I actually gained my first true real estate investing mentor.

      Back to the summer of 2009, I was putting some bandit signs in between my time off from studio.

      BOOM!
