hey @ Scott alfano,
I think the question should be if the deals are good and not if the wholesaler is good....
when you get a deal sent out to you you should know how to run the numbers. if you like what you see call the guy and ask if they are direct to seller. if they're not the deal could be sold already. . so you better check that before you move forward.
then drive there, estimate the rehab or call your contractor to give you an estimate on the spot. don't wait 2-3 days.. the deal might be sold.
if the deal is good chances are lots of people are going to check it and send offers. .
so you want to be the first in line direct to seller or direct representive.
don't take anyone word.
the real estate investing world is about making money. . and in most cases making money fast.. so trust only your own judgment. dont rely on anyone.. even people you have worked before can do mistakes.. and you can't blame anyone for bad investment.
I would suggest you to look for local REIA , meet the big groups and look for expirence people to work with... the ones that have been for years and will probably stay for more years..
also you can ask local hard money lenders who are the wholesalers that bring them the most deals..
good luck investing! !
