I currently work as a full time in a technical field but this is a second career, I used to own a small business and gain sales via door to door sales and a ton of cold calling. I’m considering using wholesaling your get myself into real estate investing on the side. My current worry is finding buyers. If I start pounding the pavement and get some deals, where do I sell them? What kind of deal do I need to find for it to sell quickly? Is bigger pockets enough of a resource to not need a larger buyer list? What is the average time a wholesale deal sits before getting a buyer?

@Garrett Reed Honestly, you don't have to find buyers or deals if you join a group of people who have tons of deals and buyers. I'm with a group from the last couple of years. They never had to seek for deals.

Don’t worry, the app itself needs some improvements I think. That sales background could really help. The basic school of thought is, that if the deal is good enough, finding a buyer is easy. The hard part is finding that deal with the meat on the bone for you, and the buyer.

You can always start with me! But seriously, finding buyers is incredibly easy if you have a deal. Join some local real estate FB groups and ask who’s buying, they’ll all send you their email address and boom, you have some contacts.

Put a day-glo sign on the public right-of-way advertising a house at a stupid price. When someone calls, tell them they just missed it and qualify/get their number.
Or you can gin up one of those letters that looks like hand-scrawl and tell people you/your wife are honest hard-working people that are looking to helps others. And that you'd do that by offering them 20% below FMV. You may get some buyers that like that sort of thing.
