ok so here i am trying to build a buyers list, I called weichart.com and asked him if he has a list of buyers that are cash buyers and i will offer 10-20% profit to him once the cash buyer seals the deal. He asked through a broker or realor. I didnt know what to say so i said realtor, he laughed and hung up the phone. I don't understand?

First, there's no excuse for hanging up on you...that's just plain unprofessional...

That said, depending on specifically what you said, you may have been suggesting something that the agent recognized as unethical or even illegal (giving out client names and/or paying referral fees off the HUD).

Also, agents are generally leary of wholesalers, as they realize wholesalers -- by virtue of generally being unlicensed and inexperienced -- can put agents into situations that are difficult, unethical or illegal.

I would hone your experience by getting a few deals under your belt before you start approaching licensed agents with partnership opportunities.
