Driving for Dollars - Creating a Wholesaler

[Matt Bell]

I invest remotely in Montgomery, AL and have had a difficult time finding good wholesalers in the area.  I am considering recruiting a couple people to start driving for dollars, developing lists of properties that looked distressed, and helping set up their marketing campaign to target these owners.  In exchange, I would get a right of first refusal on any deals they find.  What do you all think of this approach?  

In full disclosure, I have never been a wholesaler who not sure I am the right person to teach someone but I would like to get some boots on the ground helping me find good deals to feed my flipping and BRRR strategies.
