The Wholesaling Real Estate Field Manual walks you step-by-step from bird-dogging your first deals all the way to signing simple wholesale contracts and getting paid — in plain English, with no hidden upsells. It includes valuable tools that help you evaluate deals, repairs, and an amazing chat tool that will act as your personal mentor. These are free to anyone that purchases the book.
The difference between bird-dogging and wholesaling — and why most people should start as a deal finder first.
How to find motivated sellers using driving for dollars, FSBO signs, tired landlords, code/tax lists, and word-of-mouth.
How to talk to sellers and buyers without sounding “salesy” — simple scripts and questions that actually work.
How to evaluate deals using ARV vs FMV, repair levels (L1–L4), and a clear MAO formula.
How to use simple PSAs, assignments, and JV agreements without getting lost in legal jargon.
How to stay organized with a deal pipeline spreadsheet so you always know what to do next.
What to do when deals go sideways (seller ghosts you, buyers back out, title/inspection issues).
This book is written for:
People who are new to real estate and want a clear, honest path into wholesaling.
Bird-dogs and deal finders who are ready to go from “just passing leads” to getting a bigger slice of the deal.
Investors who are tired of guru pitches and want no-nonsense, step-by-step guidance from someone who’s actually done the work.
If you’re willing to learn, do the work, and treat people fairly, this field manual will show you exactly how to get started.
Tanya Johnson is a hands-on real estate investor and wholesaler with more than 20 years of real-world experience. She has worn almost every hat in a deal — bird-dog, wholesaler, JV partner, creative problem-solver, fix and flipper — and has closed deals in multiple markets across the U.S.
Instead of selling high-ticket coaching, Tanya focuses on real, no-guru guidance. The Wholesaling Real Estate Field Manual is her step-by-step playbook for new bird-dogs and wholesalers who want to do deals the right way: ethically, profitably, and without getting lost in guru funnels.
1. Get the Field Manual
Grab the Wholesaling Real Estate Field Manual on Amazon (Kindle or paperback) and work through it one step at a time.
2. Request Reader Resources
If you already own the book and want access to the companion resources — GPT tools, agreement templates (for educational use only), state-law notes, and a deal-tracking spreadsheet — you'll find instructions in the final appendix telling you how to request access to these amazing resources!
Most wholesaling books stop at theory. They give you a few formulas, a few stories, and send you off to “go take massive action.”
The Wholesaling Real Estate Field Manual was built differently.
When you get the book, you’re not just getting pages of information — you’re getting a working system plus live tools to help you use it:
✅ A real-world framework for starting as a bird-dog, stepping up to JV deals, and then wholesaling your own contracts — safely and ethically.
✅ A deal evaluation process (FMV, ARV, L1–L4 repairs, MAO) that you can run manually or plug straight into the GPT Deal Evaluator.
✅ Simple, investor-friendly PSA, assignment, bird-dog, and JV templates for educational use, so you can finally understand what all those clauses actually do.
✅ A pipeline tracker spreadsheet so you always know where each lead is, who your buyers are, and what money is coming in.
And on top of that, as a reader you get access to two powerful AI tools built around this field manual:
Wholesaler Deal Evaluator & Repair Estimator GPT
Paste in an address and describe what you saw. It helps you tag repairs (L1–L4), estimate FMV and ARV, and calculate a wholesale MAO and offer range in plain English — using the same logic you’ll learn in the book.
Wholesaling Field Manual Conversational GPT
Think of this as a 30-year wholesaling mentor who has read the book and hangs out in your browser. Ask about bird-dogging, talking to sellers, building a buyers list, running numbers, simple PSAs, and JV deals — it answers like a real coach, not a guru.
No upsells. No “next tier” coaching to buy.
Just:
a field manual that tells you exactly how this business works, and
a set of tools you can use to apply it in your market, on your timelines, with your deals.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start working a real, repeatable system,
grab the Wholesaling Real Estate Field Manual on Amazon and then request access to the reader resources.
It’s everything I wish I had when I was starting out — in one place, with no guru games.
