Contact the flippers and ask them what areas and price ranges they are looking for.Also, if you think my advice constitutes a legal opinion you are not cut out for this or any other business.Good luck. 

@Matt Katsaris No one is cutting the lawn unfortunately.

City code enforcement had already started gunning  for these properties and now all I can afford to do cut the grass and clean up the exterior.

Thanks James I am beginning to really understand how much of their own rules they really have and also how those fees can cut into an investors cash flow.Sincerely,Shurrone Jordan

If so, would my agent be entitled to commission from the wholesaler, or would the transaction be able to legally occur without the agent's involvement / the agent getting a cut?

Cut your teeth on this first place for a while so you can really get a feel for it and some experience while having a good margin of safety if you have to sell.

In the meantime I was looking into leasing to a farmer to grow corn or cotton (both are very popular here) or to grow, cut and then sell firewood on, however it’s really hard to find tips or information on how to calculate the cost or manage land and there is not a section for it on BP.

If you are not sure, I would cut bait. 

If you can eliminate or cut that cost in half, it may be a much more appealing deal. 

I have run into a bunch of flippers in New Jersey, North Carolina and elsewhere who don't really understand the merits of wholesaling and think they can cut out the middlemen.
