This niche (and supply) is just not large enough for Wall St. who has to do everything on a grand scale due to the amount of money involved.I asked what I did above not because the local guru planted thoughts in my head, rather, its something I've been meaning to ask for a while as I start setting up my business.There are so many books out there that make this seem like a get rich quick scheme but my experience tells me otherwise and I wanted to hear from people who are actually doing it.From the outside looking in, it appears there are two distinct types of wholesalers: 1.
