@Mark Sewell i understand that perspective Mark it is more so that people entering the real estate industry have a false notion that wholesaling is the “easy” place to start. Thank you for the insight on your Views.

@Steve Morris did you deem it would be a possibility that some wholesalers are flippers themselves and thus could better understand the needs of an investor?

@Todd Rasmussen Understood, do you think the wholesaling industry would benefit from segmenting the acquisitions side of the equation and the sales side?

@Rachel Cutler Hey Rachel I am very well versed throughout the Atlanta Market, specifically 30318 NW Atlanta and those rapidly growing neighborhoods. Would be more than willing to run you through some of our market conditions down here at the moment.

All reasons i have read so far make sense. 

My take aways so far:

1. There are good guys out there, were just working against a negative notion and have to prove ourselves to be in that top 10%

2. Wholesalers don't understand what it means to be an investor and try to abuse flippers whether intentionally or due to the lack of experience (cost/price) expectations. 

3. Wholesalers tend to focus on the profits prioritizing short term gains rather than long term relationships. 

4. Plain And Simple lack of understanding of how to conduct business in real estate.

This is a question that has been on my mind a lot lately, What to buyers/investors hate the most about wholesalers? Why do wholesalers have a bad name? Are all wholesalers cast in a negative light? Lets hear it from the buyers and investors alike what don't you like about wholesalers and what is your past experience with wholesalers?
