New Wholesalers in the New Orleans Area

[Quintinn Payton]

Hello Everyone, 

I'm Quintinn and I am fairly new to wholesaling. I've been listening to a ton of bigger pockets podcasts and have done tons of reading to educate myself. Just looking for new local wholesalers in the area that I could bounce some ideas off of. Maybe we can grab a coffee and just network.

I agree with @Braden Smith. There are too many wholesalers in NOLa that have no clue about what they are doing. I would advise attending the NORIEA meetings and asking investors what they are looking for. There are meet-ups on the North Shore and in Baton Rouge. Get to know the buyers and see what they are looking for. Find a deal, Post it on Bigger Pockets, Facebook or your Social Media platform of choice. Buyers will come to you.

Take caution in securing your buyers list. Maybe ask two simple questions 1) Why do you want to be on my buyer’s list? 2) How many properties have you bought over the last “x” months? Some wholesalers offer their addresses pretending to be a buyer. When you send a deal, they float it out to their buyer’s list without asking your permission. As an investor, it’s frustrating when you are interested in a property but there are 3 to 4 layers of “middlemen” before you can get to the deal.

Good luck. Be a professional, MARKET your business and hold yourself to the highest standards possible. I don’t drink coffee but I am always available for a bowl of gumbo.
