I have met a large number of aspiring wholesalers who join flashy facebook groups. 

His facebook group is the same. 

Join local Facebook groups in surrounding markets, and you will get more insight into other investors' experiences. 

@Tyler Garza a couple of ways of accessing wholesale lists is going to Facebook groups and searching for wholesale groups or real estate investing groups for the area you want to invest in.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

You should also look to join your local investor's Facebook pages.

Another option is joining real estate groups on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Keep it short and respectful of their time, and offer to meet in person if they’re open to it.Join Tacoma-specific Facebook groups.

Get on the meetup app or facebook groups and look for realtor events and try to become a vendor at one.

I'd connect with some local investors either through the Airbnb app.. can message them as a guest and ask for a phone call to see their experiences and see if someone can send you their P/L or share experiences, and or connect with local facebook groups.
