Too Many Deals. What to do?

[Gabe C.]

I'm a buy and hold guy in SF, buying in NC. Lately I've been running across some really good cash flowing deals on the MLS that I'm not in a position to purchase. I don't want to just watch them go by after spending the time to find/analyze them though.

If I had some private lenders lined up, I could just buy them, but I'm not in that position yet either. Would it be difficult to wholesale from distance? Is there another angle I could take?

I also thought of partnering with my agent. He could forgo his fee to get it a little cheaper, in exchange for splitting the wholesale commission with me 50/50. I'd find the deal and the buyer and he could do the boots on the ground work and signing. Does that sound legitimate?

What would you do?
