What to do first? Find Buyers or sellers?

[Brian Watkins]

I'm just getting started in the "wholesaling houses" business. I have been reading conflicting information on what my first step should be. I've read that I should start with the end result and contact as many buyers as possible to find out exactly what it is that they are looking for before going out and getting contracts with sellers. On the other hand, I've read that I should get deals on contract first before contacting any buyers. I'm definitely confused as I do not want to get properties on contract without knowing if the deals are desirable for buyers. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!
