As a top bird dog in the area, I’m connecting buyers directly to end users, bypassing the traditional marketing process altogether.

Single-family homes benefit from a larger buyer pool, appealing to families and owner-occupants, which makes them easier to sell.

Only wasted time and many prospective buyers in the mean time. 

You have highlighted the advantage that local investors such as yourself have over national buyers such as hedge funds who are the largest buyers of non-performing mortgages. 

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

I get made whole by the down payment from the next buyer. 

Initially, I had listed it and found a buyer, but the deal fell through when the buyer had to back out.

Go places where you can connect with potential buyers and sellers. 

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

You want to find local home buyers with overage who wholesale as they are usually more reputable.
