Finding wholesalers long distance

[Shulammite Ng]

Hi all,

I'm from NY but am looking to get started on my real estate journey in Florida. Currently looking into a few locations such as west palm, Delray beach, and Kissimmee. I've heard that one of the best ways to find a deal where the numbers really work is through wholesalers but as I am not from the area, I find there is difficulty connecting to investors in the local scene. Are there are any fellow REI investors that can offer a bit of insight on how to find wholesalers out of state? Might there be a specific wholesaling forum or website I could look into or is Bigger pockets my best bet? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much
