Wholesaling and Realtors

[Sean K.]

When I'm looking for wholesale deals, should I stay clear of properties that are listed with a realtor?

I saw a sign out front of a home, that had "Reduced" on the sign, and also had "Do Not Disturb Occupants", but was being advertised by the realtor. This might look like a property to inquire about, but I'm wondering if I can get a good deal, and negotiate, since it's being advertised with a realtor, or whether, I should just walk away from this one.

Any suggestions?

Also, what about properties that are owned by realtors and/or brokers, that are listing it for sale - would these be hard to get at a good deal from them, or are they more difficult to acquire?
