Buying Properties to Fix-and-Flip from Wholesalers?

[Devin Duval]

Hello BiggerPockets Family!

This post is to get some input from other investors that may use wholesalers or still use wholesalers to obtain deals to Fix-and-Flip. Just want to know if it is possible to still be profitable enough to use wholesalers as a system to cut out having to market to or find distressed sellers? That way I can just focus on buying the property, rehabbing, and selling.

Some obvious things I know to think about is don't believe wholesaler's numbers. Always do your own due diligence. And set up a separate email to give to wholesalers.

And another question is, what is the best way to locate wholesalers? Craigslist? Calling Bandit Signs?

Any comments or advice is welcome! Thanks!
