Looking to connect with local wholesalers in Saint Petersburg

[Ryan Fitzhugh]

Hello BP, 

I am sure many investors do not want to give away their good wholesale connections, but I am now in a position to begin buying fix and flips in Pinellas County, preferably Saint Petersburg. My questions is, if anyone is willing to share, who have you had success buying off-market real estate from in the Tampa Bay area? If you do not want a persons name shared on this post, please PM me. I am a licensed agent, but offering on MLS deals has been a nightmare. Even with 0 day inspection and a cash offer I get outbid because it seems like investors are just paying to much for properties.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks.
