If you're still not having luck sourcing a wholesaler, your next best bet is to network and connect with an investor-focused real estate agent.

Hello Everyone,I am currently in the market for a knowledgeable and proactive real estate agent in Florida to assist with sourcing high-potential Fix-and-Flip opportunities.

Sourcing of funds is 100% required, every time.

And the new money coming in to 100 Main is a good source of cash to make up the shortfall. . .

Check out traceestate.com I have been using them and the sourcing company that they incorporated for the last few years.

Sourced through the MLS and negotiated heavily with the seller to get price reductions and credits at closing How did you finance this deal?

Some commuters to Dallas, because rent is cheaper in Sherman than Dallas.As far as DFW metroplex goes, probably one of my favorite cities for investment right now.My thought is look at newer homes vs the 100 year old ones. 

My favorite ones (as a Contractor) are those like : "How much will it cost to re-wire my entire house?"....."...

Unless you are sourcing properties yourself off-market, REI became much more challenging in 2023, and downright brutal since the start of 2024 here.   

If section 8 pays $1,500 a month, then other gross income sources in the above example (if 3x income ratio is allowed) need to total $4.5k per month.
