Does Co-wholesaling still work?

[Brixter Pax Rabara]

The process WILL involve finding a deal and then working with another “boots on the ground” wholesaler in the city I am targeting, then splitting the deal 50/50. I know some people criticize this method because you are sacrificing so much profit by not hiring your own employee/boots on the ground person, but I will be wholesaling virtually because I am not from the U.S. and Switzerlands real estate speculator is really bad plus I will be a college student by the time I turn 18 and doing a sidejob to fund the things I will be using to pull leads from like Popstream and for cold calling. Appreciate the help!
