Meaning, they are not willing to:- sell their property off market- go into contract with a wholesaler- sell their property for a discount (i.e. they want 'top dollar')In cases like these, an agent can still assist the homeowner by helping them sell the traditional way.That said, wholesaling can be lucrative so I echo the advice you've received here - get out there and speak to people in the industry who are willing to share helpful information.All the best!

I think the Auto industry is in for a wild ride.. 

I also have zero interest in positioning ourselves as a “value” offering in an industry where top performers can 2x + the cheaper companies. 

At the end of the day, having adequate capital to purchase deals is a crucial part of this industry.
