Finding local wholesalers

[Sean Eads]

Hey guys. I am looking for ways of finding and networking with local wholesalers in my area (Greenville, Spartanburg). In search of my first flipping project, I have been beaten to the punch on 3 occasions now mainly because I believe other investors are finding out about these 'deals' prior to it getting to me or my agent through local wholesalers. I am wondering how I can find a local and trustworthy wholesaler in my area to begin connecting directly with about potential properties for flipping.

What are some ways some of you are working with wholesalers. Has it been beneficial? What are some things to look out for? Thanks for the help!
