Is transparency a good strategy?

Hi friends,

When making contact with a seller, is it a better strategy to allow them to think I am the investor or is being upfront about what I do as a wholesaler the better route?

Michael and Andrew gave great answers.
Will you lose some deals by being completely transparent? Probably.
Is that a bad thing?
No.
But do I also think that you can confuse parties (both sellers and buyers) by explaining too much to them?
Yes.

Best of luck to you Sir!
