Progressive sellers market strategies

[Scott Dorsett]

Hello BP, I am an investor here in Jacksonville Florida looking for some innovative strategies/advice to find good deals on rehabs here in Jacksonville. We have a sellers market here and inventory seems hard to find. If anyone knows good wholesalers to use in this area let me know by messaging me. I really do not have much desire to become a wholesaler but it seems I might have to get involved in marketing to find the volume of deals I am looking to do and not get other investors scraps or really awful wholesale deals. Do you think it is because I haven't networked with the right wholesalers yet? Thanks in advance for replying! -Scott-

Hello, Scott Dorsett. More often than not, it's easy to differentiate new and inexperienced wholesalers from the seasoned ones that add value to investors. If they're bringing MLS listings which they are unable to purchase themselves and don't disclose as much, it's usually a sign they're new and inexperienced. If they package the information in a useful way with pictures, comps, ARV, pricing, etc., it speaks to value that can easily translate into dollars. In short, wholesalers are great once you learn how differentiate true wholesalers from want-to-be's. Best wishes!
