@Jonathan Hasan that’s an interesting approach The wholesalers I know go directly to the seller, and yes it’s always some kind of distress situation They either but lists or identify a neighborhood and market directly to the homeowner The other way I know they find deals is to drive around and look for properties that are clearly in a sign of disrepair I do hope your wholesalers are trying to purchase the property with the Listing Agent involved You never want to cross a Listing sign (or the Listing Realtor)

@Jonathan Hasan now that I don't know know I'm not sure why you would try to wholesale a property listed on the MLS with a Realtor

@Jonathan Hasan by being completely transparent they tell the seller what their plans are. A good wholesaler will actually close on the property and then sell it to the investor. The seller should know everything, there should be zero ambiguity. In some cases it has nothing to do with money They have a problem they need solved

@Jonathan Hasan I know several good wholesalers as well. They are professional and completely transparent. In regards to scumbags, some of the biggest scumbags I’ve ever known were Realtors and/or Landlords. Every industry has them The only thing you can control is how you operate and with whom you surround yourself
