What should I do in this situation?? Trying to get my first deal

[Vernon L Keene]

Hi, my name is Vernon. I'm a newbie in the Atlanta region. Currently, I'm a bird dog for a friend's company in california. He wants mainly wholesale deals and fix and flips. And I find some good deals left and right. Ready to make an offer and sign away. I was told to go through him for contracts, hard money, etc. But, when I call or send a message, I can't get in contact w him at all. And by the time he reviews the deals it's already gone. I'm going to start my own llc in the next week or so. Any advice?

Thanks
