Wholesaling?
I have 2 questions concerning wholesaling transactions and was hoping someone could shed some light on them:
1. Do you need a "power team" for wholesaling or can you just work with a realtor? Just wondering if I have to go out and find an attorney and accountant before I start submitting offers.2. How do you pay your realtor or can you make offers without one? If I'm wholesaling deals that realtors are giving me, I would assume they're not getting a commission so how do you compensate them/keep them happy?
Thanks!!!

1. "Power team" is Rich Dad, Poor Dad idiocy. Never use the term again.
2. You can make offers without a realtor.
3. Realtors won't be giving you deals. If for some inexplicable reason they do, their commission will be paid by the seller.
