Portland, OR and east suburbs

[Matt Good]

Good afternoon. My partner and I are almost ready to flip for retail. We'll be using hard money and doing most of the work ourselves. I understand that it's a seller's market, and then some... In other words, deals are not usually on the RMLS so we're looking for creative ways to prospect. Before we go knocking on doors or even flooding target areas with flyers or whatever, what about wholesalers? How do we get in touch with these people? I haven't found them yet at my meet ups and are their properties ever hard money friendly?
