There are 4 types of wholesalers. 1, the bunch that don't understand, 2. the bunch that do and don't care, 3. predatory dealers and 4. bulk buyers who attack a portfolio of properties and peel them off to single buyers. #1 are usually victims of bad advice, guru crap, they think they know, but don't have a clue. #2 & 3 are simply bad players in real estate, the low life types. #4 usually are dealing with sophisticated sellers, buying, say 20 homes at a time, they will line the transactions up and most likely have a real estate license.
