Wholesalers, FB group posts

[Benjamin L.]

Newbie here. Trying to get first investment property out of state.

I've put a couple offers in on some properties but nothing has panned out yet. Reading about how inventory is low across the country and not seeing great stuff on the MLS, curious what people think about buying from wholesalers or people advertising in facebook groups. It seems like there are more the type of property (light rehab) is that I'm looking for there then on the MLS.

People tips for not getting scammed? Or learning the process of buying from a wholesaler? It seems a bit scarier than just going on the MLS and through a real estate agent.

TIA!
