Beginner Wholesale question

[Rob Nobles]

Should I find and make a list of people who buy houses for cash before looking for a deal or look for a deal and then find buyers for that deal? My goal is to do one or two wholesale deals to get enough that I can buy a rental property. 

[Noah Laker]

If you have a great deal, the buyers will flock. 

However, it doesn't hurt to build your database in advance and then start birddogging. 

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I'm a real estate broker and investor here in Sacramento and my team manages over 100 STR (Airbnb) properties. We have a long list of buyers for "fixers" so let me know if ya find something, or feel free to connect just to talk shop and clarify your real estate ambitions.
