Getting A Buyers List before a Sellers List?

[Garen Lafser]

Hi all,

Still trying to learn all that I can about wholesaling.  But, it seems to me that in an ideal world, I would try to line up a number of cash buyers that are eagerly looking for deals in my area before I even start to get seller leads.  Is this correct only in theory?  Or in reality, do I need to be looking for sellers first?  Thanks!
