Looking for help with wholesaling.

Good day all! I am very new to REI, and would like to know how are you successfully finding your leads? Is it best to partner with an agent, or to utilize public records to find motivated sellers?

Public records, skip tracing, direct mail, etc., are familiar lead sources for wholesalers. The best lead sources are typically when you are directly in touch with the motivated seller.

Partnering with an agent could work, but that depends on the partnership.

Will the agent:
- supply leads for you to call and pre-screen
- help you run comps
- help you speak with the seller 
- provide additional tools and support
?

Lastly, follow-up is super important - thats how you'll make your money. 
No matter where you get your leads from, it won't make a difference in the end if you lose touch with a property owner. Keep in touch after the initial contact until they decide to work with you OR until they tell you to leave them alone.

All the best!
