Using an Agent

[Hal Cranmer]

I have read a lot here about using direct mail, bandit signs etc. to find motivated sellers. I was wondering if anyone uses realtors regularly? I work 50 hours a week at a full-time job and have 5 rental properties, not to mention a family. I have flipped 2 properties that a realtor found me for very nice profits.

Do you guys use realtors at all to flip properties? Or should I try to find wholesalers? If wholesalers, where would be the best place to find them? I have not had much luck with real estate clubs.

I would be more than willing to give up a little profit to have a realtor find me decent deals so I don't have to spend my time looking. I can just buy them, fix them and hand them back to the realtor to sell. As I get older I find time is the most precious commodity and just do not want to do all the work myself.

Anyone got any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance.
