He Made $10,000 In 21 Days | Wholesale Real Estate

Here's How Brayden Made $10K Wholesaling His First Deal On Market! Most people think you need thousands of dollars in marketing spend, a massive buyers list, or years of experience before you can close your first wholesale deal. Brayden proved all of that wrong.  A former valet and door-to-door solar salesman from Tampa Bay, Florida with no college degree, no prior real estate experience, and no money out of pocket — he locked up a $375K property for $325K and walked away with $10K on his very first on-market wholesale deal in St. Pete, Florida. Peter Soros is a real estate investor and coach at RealEstateSkills.com — a platform that has trained over 6,000 investors nationwide, from small markets to major metros. In this interview, Peter sits down with student Brayden to break down exactly how it happened, deal detail by deal detail. In this video, you'll discover: ✅ How Brayden got a $375K property under contract for $325K — $50K off list price — using only Zillow and on-market MLS strategies ✅ The exact dispo partner structure that covered his EMD so he had zero money out of pocket on his first deal ✅ How he went from valet and door-to-door solar sales to wholesaling full-time in under a year ✅ The #1 mindset shift that kept him from quitting when offers were getting rejected and agents were asking "are you a wholesaler?"   This story is 100% repeatable. On-market deals are sitting on Zillow and Redfin right now in your market — free leads, no cold calling lists to buy, no driving for dollars. You just need the right system and the willingness to execute every single day.   🎓 Get Our Free Wholesale & Flipping Training: Learn the exact on-market strategy Brayden used — step by step https://www.realestateskills.com/training?el=pod  📞 Book a Free Strategy Session: Ready to close your first (or next) deal?
