What is the best ways to find wholesalers? and good realtor

[Jeremy Karja]

Hi BP,

What is the best ways to find wholesalers? I am just getting into it and I know most people find their first deal on MLS but I am not seeing much so far so I want to find some off market deals. I know one team member I need is also a good realtor. Where is the best spot to find a good realtor that invests themselves and or specialize in rental properties? Other ways to find good off market deals without spending a ton on marketing and a ton of time driving neighborhoods. I could make a lot of calls on my long drives in to and from work if there are good lists to call.

Thanks!

Hey Jeremy,

One of the best ways to find wholesalers is go to a REIA meeting and ask around here on BP for other investors. Many investors who specialize in one strategy do get deals that they are willing to pass along to those they know who work other strategies. There are also companies like Realitypath that will help you on foreclosures and there are other companies that specialize in helping with generating lists to do mailers like ListSource. Work with someone who has the time to possibly drive for dollars. You could find someone on criagslist to help you do that as well. Networking is the best way to be able to agents that are investor friendly.

Hope that helps!
