Chapters
When I started wholesaling, virtual wholesaling or wholesaling outside of your own market was not a very common thing. It wasn't until I started wholesaling 2020 when COVID happened that people became a lot more comfortable with the idea of selling their house over the phone because everyone was so scared of COVID They didn't want people coming in their home to go look at it. So they were like, oh yeah, you could like take pictures of it. And I didn't get how people could do this. So I did start in my home market here in Arizona. However, the first deal I did was 3 hours away from me. It wasn't until like 2021 that I started in other markets as well.
