New flipper -- use wholesaler?

[Reggie Burnett]

Brand new flipper getting started.  Haven't done any deals yet but pretty experienced in renovations.  Market is hot here in Nashville, TN and properties don't stay on the market long.  Just wondering if it makes sense to work with a wholesaler to find the first flip?  I realize it will eat into my profits but I'm just wanting to get started and do our first deal.

Thanks for your time and attention!
