Pro: You will have access to more off-market properties that you otherwise wouldn't have known about

Con: They will likely inflate the ARV and underestimate the rehab costs so you must run your own numbers

Quick Tip: Always make sure they have the property under contract and are direct to seller to avoid the middlemen
