How to Find Wholesalers?

[Kobe McDaniel]

How would one go about finding a wholesaler to connect with? I'm in the Seattle, WA (Everett) area if that helps.

@Kobe McDaniel Check out both meetup.com for local groups who are specializing in wholesaling.  This will allow you to network with people who are investing this way in this area.  You can checkout the WAREI Facebook group as it is a large community of investors locally and many do wholesaling.

Just a couple observations from my "non-wholesaler" perspective: I see a lot of people get super excited about wholesaling only to discover it is a lot of work and then drop it after a short while.  This market (PNW) is particularly tough to wholesale in as the shortage of inventory makes it easy for owners to sell properties in just about any condition.  There are a lot of different viable strategies for investing in real estate.  Networking with others to find the one that best matches your interests, skills and resources (time or money) will serve you well.

Best of luck,

John
