Online vs. In Person

[Justin Wiesehan]

Hey BP community! I have been learning and reading a lot lately and starting to get a grasp on how things work in REI.....I think...

I have started to look for properties to fix and flip in the Charlotte, NC area. 

In your experience, is it better to go to meetups and talk to wholesalers/other investors or go through a company that specializes in wholesaling?

I have found a number of wholesaling companies online through Google searches that boast great deals for investors and all of them require you to sign up for their "VIP Buyers List." Is this a good method for finding properties? Or is it good to be true, as it seems?

Thanks in advance for any help!
