Strategies for networking with local wholesalers?

[Brandon Williams]

Hey all! I recently moved down to South Carolina. My partner and I are relatively new to the real estate investing scene (2 combined flips). We are looking to network with local wholesalers in the Conway/Myrtle Beach/North Myrtle markets in Horry County to help build our pipeline of potential deals (all cash). Our current strategy so far has been messaging owners of "WE BUY HOMES CASH & FAST" themed advertisements on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Additionally, we have messaged a few active users on local real estate investing group forums on Facebook. This week we have plans to attend a local REIA meeting to network with wholesalers and other investors as well. We would absolutely love to hear any recommendations and strategies that has worked for you all in terms of landing connections to local wholesalers in your area. Additionally, if you are from the Conway/Myrtle Beach/North Myrtle area, we would love to network with you!
