But if you have a listing on Zillow as an agent if you do not pay zillow to be a top agent you will not get the call, it might have activity but another paid agent will get the lead of the buyer.

By providing you with potential wholesale leads via expired listings, cancelled listings, out of state owners, etc..., I ask that you recycle back to me any prospects that cannot be converted into wholesale deals for you.

First about what role you want to play in the RE industry. 

You can try and find someone willing to work in a combined role.  

First, regarding your books request, here on biggerpockets you will find J Scott's books all about flipping houses and the knowledge and numbers you would need to know to help cash buyers/flippers to find opportunities, which would be your role as a wholesaler.

Its not cheap to have a property demoed in Detroit, Ex.  2100 sf , two story, between two existing homes will cost approx. 13k, without asbestos and lead remediation - it will take 60-90 days to get utilities terminated, and proper permits issued.

I have dedicated literally everything I have to learning and perfecting my role in this industry.

You'll need to define each of your roles before you can come up with a split that is "fair" This is just a common sense approach though as I'm not an experienced investor myself. 

As you drive around Portland keep an eye out for investors, signs of investors marketing for leads, or if you spot what you think is an investor's rehab check it out and ask the tradesmen working there. 

We are currently looking for someone to replace me so I can move over to a Business Development (sales) role.
