Rob - If you are open to a virtual relationship, we can help you out and are just up the road from you in Jacksonville, FL.

There is probably a REIA in your area, maybe you can make some connections that way and begin to build relationships that will help you find the answers to some of these questions. 

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

Reverse Wholesaling works like this: Get in front of sellersGet pictures of the propertyLet the seller know you will run the deal by your partner and have an offer in 24 hoursRun the deal past your legit buyer whom you have a relationship withLet them tell you what they would payGo back to the seller and see if you can get the deal done building in some margin for yourselfA lot of people talk about "bird-dogging" which is basically just passing leads to an end buyer.

I think it's worth definitely taking your time to build a genuine relationship especially if you're entrusting these people with your money from a distance.

Do you have any good relationships with Agents?

I plan to reach out to them by weeks end to begin building that relationship.

I would strongly suggest you find some local real estate investor meetings in your area, you'll find more cash buyers and other people in the local industry, it is very very useful to build those relationships.

See who you like and remember you are interviewing your potential teamMember for a long term relationship.

So currently in SD I am looking for long term partners to build a good relationship with and to pass on deals to.
