Looking for recommendations on a good wholesaler in Clear Lake, TX

[Shawn Root]

For those of you that have seen my earlier posts, I decided to go the checkbook IRA/LLC route. It has taken a little longer than I thought, but I'm now ready to start looking for deals. I have a friend who is a new Realtor and is sending me things from the MLS, but none of the things he has sent me seem like screaming deals. I've tried to explain what I'm looking for, but I must not be doing a good enough job.

I have also done some driving around and identified several properties that look like they are neglected/abandoned in one of my target areas.  I know that I could start trying to track down owners, etc. to find those deals, but I work full time and though it might be best to work with an experienced wholesaler who already has some motivated sellers.  Does anyone have any good recommendations for wholesalers in the Clear Lake/Friendswood TX area?  If you are a wholesaler and it's frowned upon to answer directly in the forums, please feel free to PM me.  

Alternatively, if working with a wholesaler seems like a terrible idea, I hope you'll let me know that too.

Thanks to all of you who contribute your knowledge and time to this site.  It truly is a wonderful resource.  I think I learn as much from the disagreements between the experienced professionals as I do from the times when they area all singing the same tune.
