Pittsburgh PA Investor

[April Oswalt]

Hi all,

I am new to real estate and just started researching some properties in Pittsburgh South Side. I've been doing a ton of property hunting and crunching numbers to find some deals and I would like to start wholesaling until I can have cash to buy and flip...but I'm scared to nail down offers to owners or realtors without any connections to buyers. If I get a contract where do I even start looking for somebody to buy and rehab the property? What happens if i contract and cant find a buyer to even look at it? Any advice on making connections with potential buyers for the deals I find? I live in a rural area 2 hrs southeast of Pittsburgh and I've got leads on properties out here too...
finding/researching  properties out here is pretty easy in small rural towns especially if you grew up here and know how to find them and talk to the local people... finding cash buyers who want to flip houses out here is a different story. I'm a bit lost.
