wholesale deals to evaluate

[Robert Uceda]

hello, I have done my due diligence to follow up on a mentor who has already been successful closing hundreds of deals for decades wholesaling. He is already successful and a proven winner. He instructed me to find a real estate agent who can supply me with a list of properties in distress (fixer uppers). I found one reputable one with Keller Williams here south of Denver. My question is - what do you look for in particular that indicates me that any one of these properties listed on the MLS are negotiable for a possible close? one that helps me get a seller to sign an assigned contract and close it with another buyer (another investor)? I already find it very useful to utilize the Bigger Pockets calculator, which I read and watched the tutorial. Thoughts on finding prosperous deals (properties below retail value)?

p.s. I'm also aware that I would be competing with several other investors with MLS properties. I realize I have to prepare bandit signs and other types of marketing that helps me to find prospective sellers and buyers.
