Extremely tough to get listings.

Wholesaling is tough, much more so for someone with no prior real estate experience.

I just closed on another investment, last week, and thought this deal was dead so the timing is tough that it is moving so quickly, now. 

@Victor MenezesThere are two ways to look at it:1) From the investor standpoint, it seems like the agent is doing the bare minimum and going about their business, not really caring about your investing needs.2) From the realtor perspective, working with/for someone they do not know, has never closed a deal, and spending time analyzing properties on their behalf is more likely to end up as time wasted, so minimum effort is given until that investor proves themself.I personally don't feel that it's the realtor's job to analyze deals/do the homework for the investor, although I will assist in double-checking the numbers on a property that my client is interested in. 

@Kevin DavisThis is going to be a tough question for people on here I am assuming.
