Finding wholesalers for Katy

[Rae Hoffman]

Hey y'all - I'm new here (first post), but already have a few properties (buy & hold) & we're moving fast (despite closing on two in March, we already have renters for one and are moving now to find a third to get under contract before the end of March). Thus far, we're doing great on marketing and finding good deals, but I'd like to test out the wholesaling sales funnel (always want to try every avenue I can).

Everyone keeps telling me to sign up for wholesale lists, but, internet searches turn up a ton of shady people simply looking to grab your email and people without deals even remotely close to what I'm looking for (50 miles away, etc.).

I strictly invest in Katy. I'm fine if the wholesale deals they get in Katy are few and far between since we have several other productive marketing avenues, but I'd like to find a few reputable wholesalers to work with and get tossed on their lists for homes that meet my criteria.

The whole meet and greet in person thing to explain the process annoys me because it means driving into Houston to hear something they could tell me over the phone, but if that's what I have to do, I will. Just looking to find some reputable companies - who, if they require a meet and greet - aren't going to then waste my time with deals made to *look* like deals with inflated ARVs ( I get everyone inflates them - I'm talking really inflates them).

If everyone wants to hold specific wholesalers close to the vest, I totally get it. But if you could maybe provide some tips to be able to spot wholesalers that are a waste of time, that would be good too.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!
