All good responses, but more importantly......you're not likely to get the property under contract for an attractive wholesaling price, when a competent agent is involved....it happens occasionally, but not often.

As far as wholesales go I've read and heard about a "master list"; how does one create this list, who do you have on it and why, where do you find these individuals at, how often does this list get updated?

PLus, with the interest rates increase and the new credit requirements for buyers, it will be harder to sell your houses.It is much better to start with Flip Deals... as in wholesaling.. because you can learn all the things I mentioned above without actually buying the house and you often make as much or more than a rehabber does and get paid faster without risks.

The counties tax assessed value has nothing to do with market value and is often inaccurate.

We try to get in units at least annually, more often for newer tenants.

Lenders with real estate experience often attend REIA meetings.

I am a commercial mortgage broker with a giant buyers list, and I have many client investors looking for specific properties who are ready, willing and able to purchase today should a deal present itself that meets their specific criteria.I often hear from wholesalers who have "deals" but no buyers list.I'm wondering how to best become a matchmaker, any suggestions?

Great point Jerry.One area that is often allowed, as Jerry mentioned, is the "indemnification of any tax liability arising from any payment made not amortized" in seller financed deals.

I frequent the uptown area pretty often and will have to stop in to the cafe soon.

I always include the disclaimer that the monthly speakers are gurus looking to sell you something, but the pre-speaker networking is well worth the time.There are often smaller networking groups specific to different regions of the state as well.
