New investor purchasing from a wholesaler

[Jason Huff]

Do the veteran investors on this site generally recommend a new investor does/does not purchase a single-family home from a wholesaler for a buy/hold strategy?  My understanding is that wholesaler inventories move quickly and thus, an investor must have a well-trained eye.  As a new investor purchasing my first home, I am skeptical I have the required acumen at this time.  

For reference, I am looking in the Atlanta area, have adequate financing, and am looking for low-stress purchases (e.g., no/low front-end repairs; turnkey properties).  I am particularly interested in hearing from non-wholesalers to avoid bias.

Any insight would be very much appreciated!!  Please also feel free to connect with me, as I look forward to establishing a network in the Atlanta real estate community.
