This is a question that has been on my mind a lot lately, What to buyers/investors hate the most about wholesalers? Why do wholesalers have a bad name? Are all wholesalers cast in a negative light? Lets hear it from the buyers and investors alike what don't you like about wholesalers and what is your past experience with wholesalers?

Let's say 10 percent of wholesalers are good at their job. Those ones I absolutely love. The other 90 percent? Here are my gripes:

- Every single time ARV way too high and using the wrong comps AND reno budget way too low

- Blasting every deal out to everyone so you show up and it is a cattle call of unverified investors muddying the waters

- Not informing the seller about the assignment

- Wholesaling without money of their own or money backing making only an assignment viable for the seller to have success

- Telling you about a property they don't yet have under contract, but say they do

- Not providing full photos of the things wrong with the property, good wholesalers take pics of the worst things so we know

- Offering you a deal, then it's gone. Then two days later, they want you to do the deal again, but only in the next hour. YAWN.
