.The biggest problem I see with new investors is that they know the "technical side of the business", but not the deal closing side. These investors own dozens of courses on wholesaling and can tell you everything you would want to know about assigning a contract, however, they don't know how to go to a sellers house and close the deal. All of that knowledge is useless if you can't walk into a seller's house and have the selfconfidence and sales skills to walk out with a signed contract in 30 minutes or less. Lack of sales skills also means.
