Rural Maine

[Montai Edwards]

I live in a rural area in Maine and am just a starting wholesaler with my partner. We have concerns about the opportunity to wholesale in this area. A popular area FILLED with investors is Southern Maine ( Portland) but is dominated by those already established. Any advice on how to crack this egg? Or should we look into offsite wholesaling in another state?

You will find plenty of cash buyers in rural Maine.  Go to a few auctions to meet them.  Usually older men, dressed very casually, driving trucks.  Sometimes they'll bring along a grandson or son.  They usually look like the last people you would expect to have money and don't talk much and don't act like big shots.  That's what I like about the real Maine.  Unpretentious.
