wholesale with real estate agent

[Wesley Stoodley]

Hello all,

I'm looking into working with a real estate agent. This agent has helped my buy and sell many properties that i have flied over the years. Now i am starting to get into wholesaling and am wondering if i should get him involved with helping me buy houses that are not on the MLS yet. They are banked owned or vacant and cant find the owner. Also once I have the property under contract i will use the agent to list the house on the MLS. Just trying to figure out if this is a good idea or not? Will we both be able to make some money or will this just cost me more? Doesn't seam like many people do this because its hard to find info about it.
