I know some successful flippers in the Tampa area. They do get deals off the MLS as well as other sources. It really doesn't matter where it is offered, what matters is what you can make of it.

Hi I am a wholesaler in jacksonville and I'm currently working on a contract for a property in the historic springfield area of jacksonville, just assigned and closed on a property 9/13/2016. Inbox me and let know how I may be a service to you and your company, thanks
Vette your sellers. Some make representations that aren't true. Not all may actually have any equitable interest in a property but are simply trying to broker another unlicensed brokers deal and take a cut.

Oh John, these types don't care, integrity goes for ten cents on the dollar, buyers feed them because they are lazy and looking for a deal, the buyers just feed the drug dealers, it's the dark side of real estate and it's taken over BP..........not what it use to be. :)

I don't mind wholesalers making money off the deal if they bring me something I wouldn't have found on my own. As long as the margins are good and they aren't trying to sell me something for retail price. I know investors here in Tampa who get properties off the MLS under contract then market them for over retail price to buyers who don't know any better. I removed myself from their list. Don't send me BS saying it's a deal.

@John Thedford the only good deals on the MLS here are usually REOs but everyone goes after the same properties. I work for an REO team here in Tampa. One of the best actually. The Griffin Group
