How do you buy properties at wholesale prices ? Is it mostly from networking ? realtors ? Are you friendly with a banker ?

I myself am a newbie - but having done alot of homework this summer, I have learned this. The only way to enable wholesale buying is to search out Motivated Sellers.
On your first inspection of a property, your most important task, beside inspection, is to determine how motivated the seller is, what he owes on the mortgage/liens, and what his equity is. This is the only way to be able to buy wholesale. It's not about the property, it's about the seller.
My two cents.
