Whats Your Problem With Wholesalers??

[Fitzgerald Hall]

I am asking all rehab and buy and hold investors; What are your issues with wholesalers? What could wholesalers improve on to make working with them more enjoyable? What are wholesalers doing that make you NOT want to work with them? Please do not hold anything back.

Looking forward to your responses.

My problem with new wholesalers is their lack of follow through after I have invested valuable time telling them specifics about what I am looking for. It's not all wholesalers in general, mind you, it's the fact that I have talked to several dozen newbies over the years and have yet to buy anything from them. Whenever the flavor of the month guru comes to town, newbie wholesalers come out of the woodwork.  

After awhile, you just start to naturally avoid those lengthy conversations. I am also not a fan of being on a huge "buyer" email distribution list. It gurantees that all of my local competitors are going to be notified of the deal, so why bother getting into a bidding war?  

If someone is willing to spend time with you telling you about what they are looking for, you should invest some time developing the relationship and devote some effort to finding those kind of deals (and give them first shot at buying them).  

I'll get off my soapbox now. ;)
