investing with a real estate agent

[Brian Naley]

Ok, I'm currently dealing with a real estate agent in Ashburn,Va but she has never dealt with a wholesaler before. She is telling me I have to put a honest deposit of $1000 down for every offer I make. There is no way I can afford to put that much down for every offer. Is this the same with other real estate agents too? Should I get a new real estate agent that dealt with wholesalers before? Is it worth the time to put offers on bank owned property? I'm getting ready to put a offer on a REO worth 350K according to the areas comps for 215K. Repairs are probably around 30k at least. Someone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing.
