Tyron — congrats on lining up two solid end buyers, that’s a strong start, especially in a competitive market like Palm Beach County.
There are definitely more efficient ways to source deals than just digging through the MLS or FB groups. Most of the consistent wholesalers and investors I work with in Florida focus on:
• Local wholesalers with steady off‑market flow A few strong relationships will outperform hours of scrolling. Many of the best operators don’t post publicly at all.
• Investor‑friendly agents who work pre‑market inventory Some agents in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami‑Dade quietly move pocket listings or distressed leads before they ever hit the MLS.
• Direct‑to‑seller lists Absentee owners, pre‑foreclosures, code violations, and older‑equity properties perform really well in Palm Beach County.
If you want, I’m happy to share a few strategies that help you match your buyers’ criteria faster and build a pipeline that doesn’t rely on luck or endless scrolling.
You’re off to a great start — now it’s just about tightening the system so you can feed those buyers consistently.

Having the buyers first is a good start. I'd get very specific on their buy box before chasing properties though. Price range, zip codes, condition, ARV range, minimum spread, rental vs flip, tenant status, and what they absolutely won't touch.
After that, I'd look beyond MLS and FB groups. Public records, code issues, vacant/neglected properties, tax problems, tired landlords, old rentals, and properties with obvious deferred maintenance can all be better places to start. The goal isn't just "find distressed properties." It's finding properties that match what your actual buyers will close on. - Real Estate Agent · 11440 N Kendall DR, Suite 405 · Member since 2026 · 10 posts · 1 vote3mo
If you already have two serious end buyers, I would start by tightening their buy boxes before looking for properties.
A lot of new wholesalers waste time “finding deals” before they know exactly what their buyers will actually close on. I would ask each buyer for very specific criteria:
- target city / zip codes
- asset type
- max purchase price
- minimum spread or discount requirement
- rehab tolerance
- cash vs. hard money
- proof of funds
- desired closing timeline
- title issues they will or will not accept
- occupied vs. vacant preference
- whether they want flips, rentals, or BRRRR deals
- minimum ARV, rent, cap rate, or cash-on-cash target
Once you have that, the search becomes much more efficient.
Instead of only scavenging MLS and Facebook groups, I would build a sourcing system around their exact criteria:
- MLS with filters: Look for stale listings, price reductions, estate sales, handyman specials, investor remarks, vacant properties, and properties with bad photos.
- Public records: Search absentee owners, long-term owners, inherited properties, code violations, tax delinquency, or high-equity owners.
- Driving for dollars: Build a list of properties showing visible distress, then skip trace and contact owners.
- Agent relationships: Let investor-friendly agents know the exact buy box so they can bring you pocket opportunities or stale listings.
- Direct-to-seller outreach: Mail, call, SMS, or door knock carefully and legally, depending on your market rules.
- Local networking: Contractors, probate attorneys, landlords, property managers, and small multifamily owners can all become deal sources.
- Expired / withdrawn listings: Sometimes sellers still want to sell but had the wrong price, wrong agent, or wrong timing.
I would also be careful with the legal/compliance side. Make sure you understand your state’s rules on wholesaling, marketing equitable interest, assignment contracts, disclosures, and whether a license is required for certain activity. A lot of new wholesalers focus on finding buyers but skip the paperwork and disclosure side, which can create problems.
My practical advice: create a one-page buy box for each buyer, then only source deals that match it. Two real buyers with clear criteria are better than a giant buyers list that never closes.

@Tyron Herring
Congrats on finding buyers early—that's one of the harder parts. Beyond the MLS and Facebook groups, I'd start building relationships with local agents, property managers, landlords, and other wholesalers. The more consistent your deal flow becomes, the easier it is to match properties with your buyers.
