how do I find wholesalers to work with?

[Tani Tucker]

My husband and I own a real-estate investment company in Los Angeles. Historically, we have found our deals on our own through MLS, relator relationships etc. We are interested in working with wholesalers who can bring us cash deals. What is the best say to find wholesalers in our area?

@Tani Tucker Go to local REIAs and Real Estate meetups and let people know you are a buyer. Get on every wholesaler’s buyers list. When you see an “I Buy Houses” bandit sign call the number, those people are probably wholesalers. If you make it known that you are a buyer people with deals will show up.

@Tani Tucker - I agree with @Lydia R. Local meetups are your best bets.  I bet there are a lot in the LA area.

Also, use the geographic functions here on BiggerPockets.  That can help narrow your area.  I have found deals through great people I initially met on this site.  Good luck!
