Newbie: Interested in Partnering with Wholesalers

[Tremaine Baker]

I'm tired of scanning for properties on the MLS only to see something great, inquire about it and find out that it's already under contract. It seems like investors are buying properties sight unseen. Seems a bit risky for my first purchase so what else should I be doing? Where else should I be looking? My mentor floated the idea of partnering with wholesalers and letting them bring the deals to you. Do any of you recommend any wholesalers in the North Carolina? I'm looking all over the south east, and Piedmont areas. I live in Raleigh so anything within 1.5 to 2 hours is doable for a great investment.
