Real estate agent and wholesaling

[Matthew Peachey]

I'm pretty new to this industry, but I'm jumping in with both feet because 1. I have a long standing love for real estate. 2. I want to become a successful investor. 

I've noticed that a lot of Realtors would just as soon not deal with investors. As a realtor, my first step is to become very good at working with investors, and that includes finding and closing great deals. I've been thinking about doing some direct mail campaigns and make some connections to try and bring wholesale deals to the table in addition to REOs and other listings on the MLS.

Is that a feasible goal? Are there other real estate agents out there that are doing that? Would you investors jump at the opportunity to work with an agent that will cook up deals both on and off the MLS? Anything in particular I should know?

Wish there was someone like you in my area. Seems like everyone here, agents or investors, keep to them selves.
