If this scores, I am probably going to redirect the deal to some other investor and just collect a finders fee for the initial first few houses.Thanks in advance,Matt

I've listened to Matt Theriault's podcasts, which I believe are enormously helpful.It was his podcasts that steered me to looking into wholesale real estate, as the no money down/connecting sellers with buyers, concept is attractive.I currently own a contracting business, which as of late has lost its appeal.I know the construction business well and have lived through a pletherea of learned experiences.Not that I'm bored with construction, I'm wanting a seemingly more fluid cash flow business.What I've learned, and frankly want BP's thoughts, is that I'm looking for distressed property or owners as potential sellers.I want to connect those types of opportunities with buyers, who either don't have or want to take the time to find the properties I'm willing to do the work to find.Based on my reading of BP's UBG, understanding what buyers want should be the first step, versus finding sellers and then buyers.And, that a great resource could be county records of cash buyers and that that step would provide potential buyers.Question:Has this approach worked for you?

@Matt Boyle days on market are typically less in IN just cause the market is a little smaller and as far as rentals go it shows a higher profit cause of taxes being lower.

Thank you both : )Matt - For a foreigner it is very hard to choose an area, especially in a country that New York alone is bigger than my own country LOLIf for example I want to choose an area in my country, it will still be easier even if I'm not familiar with real estate and even if I didn't visit it all (I didn't see most of my country :) ), because I know the language, the people, the rules (!!)
