Am I the only one who thinks these massive cash-buyer databases are a little misleading? Platforms like InvestorLift and InvestorBase advertise access to millions of buyers, but how many of those people are actually looking to purchase properties right now? From what I've seen, a lot of these databases are built using historical transactions. Just because an LLC bought a house three years ago doesn't mean they're looking for another one today.

Wouldn't it be more valuable to have access to 100 investors who have actually signed up, verified their ability to purchase, and confirmed they're actively looking for deals rather than 100,000 potential buyers pulled from public records? Or does having a massive database simply win out? Genuinely curious what wholesalers think, especially anyone who's used these platforms.

Hello everyone! I have a few lots in Lehigh Acres and a building in Chicago that I would be open to jv-ing on. 70/30 split. Does anyone have any buyers in these areas?

Been building a tool that scores tax-delinquent properties on real signals instead of handing over a raw county list — current tax owed, appraised value, net equity after what's owed, plus deceased-ownership on the deed. Right now it's running on a real Texas county: 1,805 properties in the current qualifying pool, $38M+ in total tax owed across them, $900M+ in combined equity.

Not selling anything here — building the first real batch and want honest feedback from people actually working these deals before I'd ever charge for it. If useful, happy to send a free sample (15-20 scored properties, reasoning included) to anyone who wants to see if it's actually real.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building out a disposition platform for people who wholesale real estate. While researching this part of the industry, I came across InvestorLift, which seems to be one of the bigger players in the space. I looked through their software, and while it seems pretty solid, the UI felt a little clunky and the pricing was INSANE, especially for someone just getting started.

Something else I've noticed is that whenever I watch videos about wholesaling or talk to people who actually do it, I always ask what platform they use to find buyers. Surprisingly, nobody seems to point to one specific platform. More often than not, they just tell me they have a handful of investors they already know personally who buy their deals.

That got me thinking about newer wholesalers who don't already have those relationships. If you get a property under contract but don't have an established buyers list, what do you do? From what I've seen, people are posting in Facebook groups, reaching out to investors individually, building email lists, or paying for software like InvestorLift.

It just seems like a pretty fragmented process.

The idea I'm working on is a centralized marketplace where wholesalers can list their contracts and investors can find opportunities that fit their buying criteria. Investors would be able to create profiles specifying what they're looking for, and the platform would match them with relevant deals.

Obviously, InvestorLift and other companies already offer some of this functionality, so I'm not pretending it's a completely new idea. But I'm wondering if there's room for something that's simpler, more affordable, and accessible to people who aren't running large wholesale operations.

I also understand that experienced wholesalers might have no reason to use something like this if they already have reliable buyers. That's actually part of what I'm trying to figure out.

So I have a few questions for people who are actively wholesaling:

• How are you currently finding buyers for your deals?
• Have you tried InvestorLift or any other disposition software? If not, why?
• What's the most frustrating part of getting a property under contract sold to an investor?
• Have you ever tried listing your deals on a marketplace instead of selling directly to your buyers list? If so, how did that go?

I'm not trying to advertise anything or sell anyone a subscription. I'm genuinely interested in hearing from people who do this regularly.

Reddit is usually pretty good at being blunt, so be honest with me, y'all. Does this idea suck? Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there actually a market for something like this?

To the mods: Not promoting or linking anything here, just looking for feedback on an idea. Happy to make changes if needed!

Cash buyer here, bought a fair number of off-market deals from wholesalers over the years, now looking harder at FL. Twice in the last year a deal I liked went sideways after we'd agreed terms because title turned up something the wholesaler hadn't seen (one was an heir who'd never been probated, one was a judgment plus an open permit). Both times the wholesaler found out the same day I did.

Saw an older thread here where a regular said they charge wholesalers $10K–$20K to fix chain-of-title and death issues, and that their VAs run a quick title pull before they even skip trace. Curious how common that really is, so a few honest questions for the people doing volume:

1. When do you first look at title? Before you make the offer, once it's under contract, or whenever the buyer's title company opens the file? Who runs it, a VA, your title company, or a paid search?

2. Roughly what share of your contracts die or slip because of title, and what's usually the culprit? Heirs, breaks in the chain, judgments, code/municipal liens, permits?

3. When something does turn up, who's on the hook to fix it? The seller, you, your closer, or someone you pay? And do sellers actually cooperate when it's your deal, signing affidavits, chasing a lender release, that sort of thing?

4. From the buyer side: if a deal came to me as "title's already been run and cleared, closes in 10 days," I'd move faster and probably argue less on price. Does that actually matter to the buyers you sell to, or do they assume it's fine until it isn't?

State matters here so say where you work. Not selling anything, just trying to understand why so many of these fall over late.

You're in sales. You're good at it. But someone else is deciding what you're worth.

Hey wholesalers,

For those using transactional funding for double closings, what are you paying? Is 1.5% close to what you see, or are your fees different? What funding amount and duration does that cover?

What keeps you coming back to the same lender? Lower fees, reliable funding, easy communication, or something else?

Would love to hear what's worked for you and what hasn't.

What ai/ crm is out there where I can put all my buyers and their Buybox’s in and then put all my deals in and it will magically tell me who matches which deal??

Hey, my name is Aaron. I’m a wholesaler actively sourcing off-market properties, and I’m looking to expand my cash buyer network. I’m building my operation to consistently move up to 5 deals a month, so I’m looking for serious investors who are actively purchasing properties.
If you’re interested in being added to my buyer list, just let me know your preferred areas, price range, and property criteria. I’d also like something simple to verify you’re an active investor, such as confirmation of recent investment activity or financing capability—no personal or sensitive information needed.
Once I have a property that fits your buy box, I’ll send it directly over for you to review.

recently got connected with an investor to find residential properties, but I've been having a hard time finding properties. Can someone point me in a direction that's worked for them?
