Deals thru wholesalers
Is it smart to build a buy and hold business buying thru wholesalers vs learning the whole acquisition side and competing with wholesalers? Just a little context, I own a traditional business (non-real estate related) and am looking for the most passive way to own buy and hold real estate. I appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks

If you want to be passive why work soo hard to learn to wholesale? Wholesalers in my market spend lots of time and money to find just one deal. I would rather buy the deal from them. It reduces my cost and uncertainty.
