You will find a ton of wholesalers that way.

That could be a single wholesale deal. 

With that being said anytime I was not doing class work and studying I was taking the time and reading about all things real estate and this past Saturday I learned about wholesales and was very interested so when I got home Sunday I spent the entire day learning about all things wholesale and was actually very confident in my ability to do this.

I am a new investor and I just signed a contract with a wholesaler from BP to purchase my first property.

PS since I work as a capital partner just like the guy your using now. there is huge benefits compared to borrowing from HML or PML.. the benefits are basically if the deals start to wobble you have much more flexibility to work them out with your capital partner then U do a HML PML who wont show you the same flexibility.. mainly because they cant they are tagging their wholesale lines and there are rules for using them that your simply not aware of as the end buyer but will become very aware of if a deal cant be paid as agreed for any reason.  

It's important to note that other wholesalers are more likely to JV with you and take a disposition fee rather than simply give or sell you their list.If you're interested in purchasing access to cash buyers, you might consider platforms like InvestorLift, which can cost $25-30K a year for their dispo services.

We are newer to the real estate world and looking to connect with local investors, and for off market deals from wholesalers.

I bought my first house from a wholesaler in 2004 and flipped it for a 40k profit.

Remember that pigs get fed and hogs get slaughtered.Whether it is a wholesale deal, finders fee, JV deal with a partner, etc., find a way to make money on this one and don't lose a good deal bc you're chasing a home run...whatever it ends up looking like, you found a great deal.

I'm in the process of signing a wholesale deal but I ran into a roadblock.
