Using a real estate agent for wholesale deals

[Yi Zhao]

Hi everyone,

I'm a house flipper and would like to explore the possibility of working with wholesalers to see if I can find better deals than I can on MLS since MLS is so competitive now days. I'm going to go look at a house tomorrow advertised by a wholesaler.

I've never worked with a wholesaler before and would really appreciate any advice. Some questions I've been thinking about are:

1. What to watch out for

2. What kind of questions to ask

3. I have a great realtor I work with. Would it be a good idea to bring her?

4. I was told that I didn't need a realtor to buy houses from a wholesaler. Would there be any benefits of using a realtor?

5. Anything else that I should be careful about?

I'm a bit nervous about this and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Yi
