Non-Compete Needed???

[Marsha Brown]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie & need advice on how to protect myself from being cut out of deals. I've established a relationship with a firm that buys foreclosures from banks. I'm putting the homes under a flex option contract & wholesaling to other investors. What do I need to prevent them from going directly to my source & cutting me out of future deals? I don't know these investors personally, just have a working relationship with them. I'm finalizing my first 2 deals this week and don't want to be out of business before I get started. Has anyone else had this problem?
