Justin: All right. Justin Wilmot here and today, I wanted to talk to you about your number one best friend as a wholesaler and that is a wholesale-friendly, creative real estate attorney. This is somebody that should be paramount in your corner immediately, as soon as you want to get involved in real estate investing. What’s interesting is I find a lot of people tend to avoid getting this particular person on your team, which is crazy.

I believe a lot of people might think that it costs money to do so. In some cases, it does and if it does, it’s worth it. But in many cases, very savvy, creative investing, real estate investing, and wholesale-friendly attorneys . . . let me define wholesale-friendly. That means somebody that understands the space and they’ve been in real estate transactions of simultaneous double closings and assignments. So that is somebody that would typically be a sponsor or a vendor of a local real estate association. Just join the club, get the vendor’s list, and see who they are.

A second way to find this particular attorney would be to ask your competitors. When you’re introducing yourself to other wholesalers, if you’re new in the space, I only suggest people collaborate. Wholesalers are not necessarily competitors. You can also collaborate with them. You can also joint venture with them and do deals with them. So one thing you could do when you’re making that introduction is to say, “Look. I don’t have an attorney at the moment, especially that ninja attorney who’s really vetted, who really understands this space, and they’ve been doing it forever, and somebody that everybody else is already using. Who is that guy?” Just ask.

So in the state of Florida, for example, we have a handful of great ones, especially in central Florida. The one that we use, the owner of the company is an attorney, and that makes the process much easier. So now when you have questions about contracts or how to structure deals, or how to do marketing the right way, it’s simply a phone call or an email away, without a $400 or $500 price tag attached to it because we consistently do all of our deals through them. That’s the secret. Make sure you’re doing all of your deals through them and they will have absolutely no problem consulting with you.

Even if there is a small consultation fee in the beginning because maybe this is the first time you’re reaching out to them, I promise you it’s worth it. Do whatever it takes to figure it out and stick with your ninja, wholesale-friendly, title attorney at all times no matter what market you go into and you’ll be staying on track.
