Why Did My Wholesaler Pass Up On This Deal?

[Nathan Faucett]

Hello all!

I am currently making connections with wholesalers in my local area. Everything is going great so far but I have an interesting question that I have come across.

Some of the wholesalers in my area are also investors. Obviously the deals they wholesale aren't right for them for one reason or another.

My question is this: Is it considered professional to ask a wholesaler/investor why they are passing up on a deal themselves or is it bad form? Obviously I am responsible for my own due diligence in these transactions, but I want to understand why something wasn't right for them. Did they discover some horrible issue that they didn't want to deal with? Or is this just in the wrong location?

Would love to hear the opinions on this!
