Looking for Some Guidance From Active Flippers

[Luis Morales]

Hey everyone,

I’m mainly reaching out to the flippers and cash buyers here because I’m trying to figure out how to build real working relationships that actually last. Not just quick deals… but something consistent where we both help each other grow.

My partner and I are on the acquisitions/wholesale side, and we’ve put together a small team of callers who are honestly really talented at what they do. They talk to motivated sellers every day, build real conversations, and help people feel comfortable moving forward. Thanks to their work, we usually lock up around 2–3 off-market distressed deals a week.

Most of what we’re finding right now is in Georgia in the areas of:
Fayetteville, Atlanta, Covington, Gainesville, Union City, Conyers, Barnesville, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Roswell, and Alpharetta.

But here’s the real reason I’m posting:

I want to understand what you — the people actually flipping and buying — really need from someone like me.
What helps you the most?
What makes a relationship solid and long-lasting?
What do you expect from someone bringing you deals?

I’m genuinely trying to learn so I can be better for the people I work with. I want relationships where there’s trust, clear communication, and steady value on both sides. I’m not trying to play games or burn bridges. I want to do this the right way.

So honestly… how can I help you better?
What would make you feel confident working with someone long-term?

Any guidance or insight you’re willing to share would really mean a lot.
And if it makes sense to connect afterward, then great — but for now, I’m here to listen and learn.

Thanks for reading,
— Luis

As Chris said, 95% of the wholesalers waste the time of buyers by inflating the ARV and underestimating the reno costs. We used to get a lot of offers from different wholesalers - often on the same property - with unrealistic numbers and inflated profit estimates. We have come to rely on one that knows the business. Anyone can find a distressed deal and make it look like a home run on paper. Unfortunately the buyer is often a newbie that relies on those numbers and does not have the knowledge or team to validate them. There are still deals to be had from a wholesaler but the buyer needs to be very cautious especially if they have not dealt with the wholesaler before. I have received offers that a simple Facebook Marketplace search shows the same property listed and it is clear that the ARV and reno values are out of whack.

What can you bring to develop a long term relationship?  Find actual deals and do not try to sugar coat what should be a pass for serious investors.  If you deliver value and are not trying to make a killing on every deal you find, you will build a clientele over time but with the number of people wholesaling that are clueless, you have a bad reputation to overcome.
