Shane Harrison was typically a B student growing up who played sports and graduated high school in 2016. After exploring ideas for careers, he kept falling back to Real Estate via TV shows, Seminars, and Youtube. He always knew he would go into Real Estate for some reason. He decided to commit to wholesaling and skip college, and from summer of 2016-17, he studied everything on the subject of wholesaling. His first deal for $35K fell apart in the title process and didn’t make it to closing, and then he closed his first deal in February 2017 for $17K+ and began to treat wholesaling as a business in 2018.
