How to Connect with Wholesalers??

[Latisha Haynes]

Jumping into Real Estate Investing (gotta start one day, right?) and all of the properties that I am interested in are always under contract.  The realtors that are out there, just send partial responses and NEVER follow up to even say "what else are you looking for?".  This is frustrating being a former realtor and I always pride myself on building my database with leads. I would like to start working with wholesalers to possibly get a jump on homes that will not hit the market. I looked on Craigslist, but nothing. I am in the Northen NJ area. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I appreciate all comments.
