eastern PA investor looking for a flip

[Nicholas Weckstein]

Hello friends on bigger pockets. I'm looking to do my first house flip. I primarily invest in the Wilkes barre/Scranton area, but I'm open to anywhere in eastern Pennsylvania. So I'm curious if I should attempt to use a wholesaler, or if I should find the property myself, use an agent Etc. This would be my first flip and I'm sure it will not go or be perfect but I'm ready to "fail" (I hope not) forward. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Any recommendations on good GC's, what platforms to look for a potentiometer house to flip would be greatly appreciated. I've been looking on Zillow and sites like it and have found a few houses that I'm interested in but I'm aware of the un-reliable nature of some of those type of sites.
