Introduction
Wholesaling is one of the
most lucrative ways to get
started in real estate and here’s
why: Most of what an
individual needs to get started
is organic; very little money is
required, finding buyers is
relatively easy, and the
knowledge is readily available
in the right real estate circles.
The basic knowledge to
successfully wholesale is
having knowledge of the market
and knowing the ARV (after
repair value), repair cost, and
right purchase price. The next
step is to build a reputable
buyers list, so here is the fastest
and most reliable methods to
find qualified buyers
immediately:
1. Auctions: By attending
auctions you can find a great
number of buyers to add to
your list.
Let’s understand that
wholesaling is different than
actually buying a property. You
in essence are purchasing and
selling the rights to a contract
and not a property. You
purchase the property writing
the contract representing you
are a buyer and you have the
right to assign the contract to
another buyer. During a short
contingency period you
immediately contact your
buyers. It usually takes 1 to 3
days to assign a contract with a
good buyers list, so let’s
concentrate now on building a
good qualified buyers list!
Types of Buyers
For a wholesaler, or any
seller, there are altogether four
types of buyers, as follows:
1. Fix & Flip (“Rehabbers”) will
pay the lowest amount for
your contract
2. Buy and Hold (Landlords)
will pay more than rehabbers
3. “Retail” (Homebuyers) will
pay the most for your contract
4. Other Wholesalers, and Co
Wholesalers (by agreement)
Hot Tip: Learn how to market to these types of buyers.
Sometimes it’s just running a simple Craigslist ad, but the
most effective method is building your list and emailing
them as soon as you secure a contract. (Gary’s
wholesalers actually call him directly!)
2. Real Estate Investor meetings:
Rehabbers hang out at these
meetings so come early and
stay late to network.
3. Craigslist (a goldmine):
