Are Wholesalers a good resource for fix and flip leads?

[Steve Francis]

I'm looking at several different ways to identify rehab properties in the Philadelphia area and was wondering if anyone has had success with wholesalers finding properties for them? What's the best way to find a great wholesaler? Thanks!

Whether for fix and flip or buy and hold, wholesalers can be a good source if the numbers work. Just don't trust their numbers. Look for a good margin in their numbers to screen initially and then do your own analysis of ARV and repairs to see if it's really a deal that works for you.
