Why is wholesaling in the states supposedly so much easier?

@Scottie Galloway Wholesale can be done successfully in Canada. However wholesaling in the US is easier because you are able to get owner info easier (ie Deal Machine, court info, etc), so 'drive for dollars' is more common practice there, whereas a lot of the owner info is harder to find in Canada due to the privacy act. Many Wholesales in Canada do it with yellow stickers and door knocking. Or have access to a lawyer/ realtor info. The issue is getting a phone # or email to make that initial contact. Good luck.
