I have always felt that the most important skill an investor needs, whether a wholesaler, a flipper, a land lord etc is to know the market better than anyone else.

(Chances are, your sales skills are a little flabby.  

Sales skills for Real Estate agents.Others, who shall remain nameless, teach Investors and Realtors® marketing skills and how to write better letters, etc. 

Gotta have tons of market knowledge to know what things are worth, marketing for generating leads, sales & negotiation skills, empathy for the seller, creative problem solving abilities and repair estimate knowledge to name a few.  

You need to get a seasoned partner and leverage there knowledge and skill sets to get this deal done.  

It comes more naturally to some than to others, but those really are skills that can be learned.

Yes, wholesaling can be done in a slimy way, but if you actually care about people don't you want to help the old lady out of her predicament since you have the skill? 

@Andy GrossUsing people from a bad neighborhood you run into alot of stealing and break-ins and no skills.

Also sanding and finishing floors is a special skill, would not hire out to someone who doesn't specialize in it , talking from experience here.
