Questions to ask realtor

[Ken Lannon]

I will be meeting with a Realtor tomorrow to discuss my investing goals. I have read that Realtors are an important member of the "Dream Team". I am just starting off and need the help of a Realtor to help me find cash buyers, locate where all the investing activity is, and what is being purchased. How do I articulate my goals (wholesaling) so that the Realtor is open to helping me. Should I expect resistance? What can I bring to the table as a benefit to the Realtor if they decide to work with me?

Ummm, I'm not sure this is a Realtor's function. A Realtor can help you locate property that meets your criteria and perhaps set you up with a lender or two, but find cash buyers for you to wholesale to? If they had a list of cash buyers, they would sell directly to them and not need you. :idea:
