Should I Partner with a Successful Wholesaler in a New Market? Seeking Advice

[Jonathan Small]

Hey BiggerPockets community! I’m currently operating in South Georgia market.  I often will use wholesalers to buy off market deals.  I am looking at other markets that don't have many wholesalers.  I’ve been thinking about partnering with a successful wholesaler and seeing if they will expand their operation to include the zip codes I am interested in.

Example:  I would like to partner and give money to a successful Detroit or Texas wholesaler and see if they are willing to add my Georgia target market to their operations.

Before moving forward, I wanted to get some feedback and advice from those who are wholesalers or who have partnered with wholesalers.

Has anyone ever heard or have experience in a partnership like this? 

YES YES YES!!! I will do my regular due diligence when dealing with a new partnership and any deals they find.  This is a given for me.  I think I am trying to figure out how to find a good wholesaler and see if it makes sense that they add my target area to their operations.
