Do dispo services touch a buyer who is still working toward a first deal, or is that backwards

Do you have proof of funds ready to send in under an hour?

Dispo networks move deals to buyers who can close fast, cash or hard money.

Tacoma duplexes in that range are clearing closer to 260 right now, so the timeline may need adjusting.

Dispo buyers lists are mostly built on track record and speed, and first deal buyers aren't usually who they're calling at 7am when they need to close in ten days. But contractors are actually an interesting case because you can credibly underwrite rehab costs on the spot, which a lot of cash buyers can't, and that's the thing that gets you on a list faster than anything else.

Have you told any of the investors you're walking for that you're actively buying?

The networks those investors are plugged into almost certainly keep a loose buyer list, and getting on it costs nothing beyond a two minute conversation and a proof of funds letter. The real filter is whether you can close without dragging your feet, and being a wholesaler has little to do with it. A contractor background actually signals competence on rehab scope, which some sellers care about. The question worth answering before you put any energy there is whether the investors you walk for will vouch for you directly to their dispo contact, or whether the plan is to cold-approach the network yourself, because those two paths move at completely different speeds.

That price band in Tacoma is running closer to 240 to 260 right now for anything turnkey.

What actually gets you on a list is being able to close in 10 to 14 days. Track record matters far less than people expect. What is your financing situation, hard money lined up or still going conventional?

Wholesalers in that bracket are quietly co-wholesaling to each other, so one solid relationship beats any formal network.
