I'm an investor, wholesaler, and agent in Sacramento.

Keep in mind, these houses typically need quite a bit of rehab work. 2) Find wholesalers doign direct marketing.

After a quick search though, it looks like you would partner with a wholesaler and bring the earnest money that ties up the deal until they found an end buyer.

Look at Listed properties, open houses, for sale by owner (FSBO), wholesalers deals, any on site auctions you can find, and look at as many deals other investors own that they are willing to show you. 

The best wholesaler and the ones who run it like a business, usually start as productive home buyers.

I buy multi family and single family from wholesalers because its faster and I use hard money loan to fund my deals

Or you can be the money guy and get deals from people like wholesalers etc...
