It also takes time and networking to connect with wholesalers. 

Quote from @Carson Burkholder: Hello everyone,My name is Carson Burkholder, and I’m a 24-year-old real estate investor and wholesaler with experience in North Florida and Phoenix.

In DFW, a lot of wholesalers build their buyer lists from recently closed cash transactions and local investor meetups.

The market is the market, so if there is someone that is flipping that can afford the property with the marked up costs, but a first time homebuyer cannot not, then the first time homebuyer might not have been able to afford it to begin with if the market up costs were a wholesaler fee.

A Wholesaler is in simplest term selling leads.

But do not brashly dismiss "byrd-dogs" and other wholesalers.

I am looking to invest in a few parks, and would be happy to let you wholesale any deal you find to me .

Join local Real Estate Investors Associations (REIAs) and connect with social media groups which will expose you to potential buyers and fellow wholesalers that you can learn from, which is invaluable for your journey.

Network with wholesalers who can bring you “deals”- Many wholesalers are also newbies who have no clue what a real deal is and are just time-wasters.NOTE: We often see wholesalers re-marketing MLS properties at HIGHER amounts!

Once they learn they become wholesalers.
