Seeking Wholesalers in Jersey Shore/Central Jersey Area

[Evan Ventura]

Curious if anyone around the Jersey Shore/Central Jersey area is, or has worked successfully with, any wholesalers. I am brand new to REI, as is my business partner, and after months of "analyses paralysis" we are on the hunt for our first deal. Quickly; however, we are realizing these deals are not going to jump out and smack us. We have made numerous offers following conservative guidelines (BP calculators, 1%, 70% rules, etc) and have not had our offers taken seriously. We are aware of the obvious pitfalls of the MLS, but it was a place to start. Obviously, New Jersey is a competitive, expensive market where the good deals are gone before you know it if you don't know where to look. Can anyone offer any experience? Additionally, I will be attending the Ocean County Sheriff Sale this coming Tuesday to observe (we have two private lenders who are interested in working with us).

Thank you in advanced for any assistance you all can provide!
