Catherine,

What do you mean "Keeping buyers corralled?"

You work for a title company? You can't go asking who for that info, your boss? I can't tell if you are saying you are working"with" the title company that you are working for.
Why don't you ask your boss how you could get this info to provide for investors?

Curt, sometimes you can't do a wholesale deal without doing a short sale. I don't think wholesalers ask themselves whether they should be doing short sales or wholesaling each deal.

What objections do sellers have when you are explaining subject to's? H ow do you overcome them?

Do you guys usually keep subject to's for rental properties and just wholesale other deals? If I were to wholesale it how would I determine the price to sell it for to investors?

Have you guys found sellers to be concerned when the investor is the one who is finishing up and closing the deal? How do you deal with this situation, how do you explain it to the sellers up front and during the process?

Place an ad on craigslist or post a flyer at a college asking for a real estate intern.

I found this ad on Craigslist

I guess this is a realtor who has found short sales on the mls. Are these done by other realtors?

Can someone explain the differences between doing short sales with and without a realtor?

Paul, buy the book:
Buying Real Estate Without Cash or Credit (Paperback)
by Peter Conti (Author), David Finkel

It talks about ratios/percentages as well as gives scripts.

By the way, where are you getting this large fsbo list?

In order to get the most profit out of a deal, I was thinking of using a flat rate $275 mls listing to put properties on the market at the same time as I would email my investor buyer list. Is this a good idea? I believe there would still be a 3% agent fee but I would still save almost 3% seller agent fee right? I would guess that this would only work if the people I'm buying the house from aren't in a big rush. What is your experience with selling to retail buyers when wholesaling?
