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.

Hey Tremaine, 

Welcome to the Raleigh market! Raleigh is definitely a hotspot for investing right now. Regarding your post, you have to be careful with who you decide to work with. Unfortunately there are bad wholesalers that give a bad reputation to the honest good ones and I understand why people are skeptical about working with them in general. I agree with you that investors buying sight unseen might seem risky, but you just need to work with someone that is going to provide you with good material that is going to help you make an educated decision. I wish you the best of luck with your investments!

Best regards,
