I think it’s because I don’t really have anybody that will work with me.I have attempted to work with 3 different RE agents and they seem to shun wholesaling and are sluggish with giving comps. 3 different deals have also fallen through because they wanted proof of funds immediately.I didn’t have the exact amount to present to them nor a buyer to flip it to.
