Flipping deal finder and execution
For all my seasoned flippers. We are currently starting to do flips to fund our STR acquisitions, are people typically buying properties through wholesale or using a realtor?
we have a realtor we like but curious how badly that effects our margins vs the expertise they bring on the market we are in.

Hi JJ! You'll find most investors are using wholesalers, off-market deals normally come from them anyway. If you don't want to cut your realtor out completely - have them list the house for you when the renovation is done!
