The best thing about wholesaling houses is that there is no risk involved and you can proceed with the same with little or no-money down. This is because in the wholesaling real estate, you do not have to take ownership of that property. All you have to do is to take the property under contract, and simply assign this contract to another buyer who will close on the property in your place.
Finding The Property
Finding the right real estate investing property for wholesaling houses primarily depends on your advertising strategies. Once you finalize the price with the homeowner or buyer, you have to prepare a sales contract between you (buyer) and the homeowner (seller). It is better if you use the contracts from the Board of Realtors because they are quite easy to use and people are familiar with them. However, in many areas, the Board of realtors does not sell contracts to the public. Check with your local Board of realtors first and if they do not sell the same, you can find a real estate contract from major office supply stores. Now, while you are filling out the contract, make sure that you put your name properly in the buyers name with the words and/or assign after that. Only then you will be able to assign the contract to the rehabber.
Building The Buyers List
Buyers list in wholesaling houses is the list of the rehabbers who buy wholesale real estate investing properties. In order to prepare a potential list, you can start with running an ad in the paper. This ad must convey a typical message, which is to the point. For example, you may use phrases like a great deal for rehabbers. After you have run an ad, investors will start calling you. Keep records of each call, and note down the contact information in a database, such as their name, number, fax, and email. Keep the ad running at least for sixty to ninety days.
Negotiating The Deal With The Rehabber
Negotiation is very important in both the cases. First, when you buy the real estate investing property from the homeowner under a contract, and the second, when you sell the property to the rehabbers. Obviously, the first time, the motive of your negotiation must be to finalize the deal at as low a price as possible, while the second time, the motive must be to finalize the deal at as high a price as possible. You need to be at your best in negotiating the deal in both the places. After all, this will substantially affect your overall profit.
Closing Time
Once you agree on a final price, you can move towards a closing, using your investor-friendly title company. Why title companies? Well, they are the ones who take on all your worries and do all the work for you. Your task is limited to finding a good deal, wholesaling the same to your rehabber, and going to the closing. After that, title companies will take charge and will do the rest.
Thus, here we see how simple it is to make a successful real estate investing deal and earn money in wholesaling houses.
Stop Foreclosure
This is a very simple question for any "hardcore" real estate wholesaler to answer! There are a lot of reasons why, but here are the best reasons to choose real estate wholesaling over ALL OTHER types of R.E investing styles:
1.) Super Low Risk! Really it’s really NO RISK at all! Wholesaling has none of the A-Typical risks that most every other style of real estate investing confronts the investor with such as: * Shelling out Holding Costs on vacant property * Getting burned by crooked contractors * Tenants that do not pay * Tenants that destroy your property * Not finding a buyer after rehab and having the property "eat me alive"
2.) You need No "real" Money to Wholesale real estate, EVER! * You can wholesale if you have can afford $ 1.00!
3.) Your Credit Rating is NOT a factor! * Since we are never apply for financing we never have our credit pulled * You can wholesale with BAD CREDIT, it does not matter and NEVER enters into the wholesaling equation!
Let\’s look at Buying fixing and selling, or some of you might call this "Flipping Houses" just like they do it on the popular TV show Flip This House! This is a very risky type of investing for new/inexperienced real estate investors to pursue!
So many things can go wrong when you try to buy-fix-sell houses. Major things can happen in the following areas:
* Pay to much for the property because you do not know the market
* Under estimate the repairs that need done to the property and then get in over your head with contracting costs
* Or get burned by a shoddy rehab contractor
* You’re not able to sell at a profit and either break even or worse lose your rear end on the deal and have to either bring your own money to the closing table just to sell it at a loss or lose the property to foreclosure and destroy your credit rating!
* Lowering your debt to income ratio on each deal your doing Learn to Wholesale Now let\’s look at Buying and Renting real estate ! Some investors like this "long-term-wealth" strategy. But this style also has HUGE draw backs such as:
* Constant worrying about rent collection in order to pay your mortgage on the property
* Dealing with occasional BAD TENANTS that end up destroying your property costing you thousands of needless dollars to repair again and again!
* Dealing with costly annual maintenance issues (roof leaks, furnaces that need repaired or replaced, landscaping issues, Bad water heaters, etc.
Wholesaling Real Estate has NONE of the issues that Buying-fixing-selling real estate or that owning a rental portfolio represents! Although these other styles of real estate can make you wealthy. It does not come with a great deal of RISK, CONTINUOUS HEADACHES AND STRESS!

Wholesaling properties can be easy and can be hard. It just depends on some simple principles. This article will help to get you started on learning to wholesale properties with 3 easy tips.
Before we get stared we need to answer the questions: What is real estate wholesaling? What does a real estate wholesaler do? What are wholesale properties?
A real estate wholesaler buys a house from a property owner at a discount and then resells the property to someone else who will either fix it up and flip it to an end user or hold it for investment property as a rental.
There are many tips that we could discuss but we will cover three that the beginner wholesaler should consider.
Tip #1 – Choose Your "Farm".
Select a geographical area that you will "farm". By "farm" I mean an area in which you will find your wholesale deals. Your farm can be anywhere but for beginners it’s recommended that you choose a place that is convenient for you. You will need to go there frequently. You will need to drive the area and get to know it well.
Tip #2 – Know What A Deal Is.
Wholesale properties are bought at a substantial discount and resold for a moderate profit for yourself but with enough room for the buyer to make a profit when they rehab the property and resell it or rent it. Depending on the economy and the area, you may need to get the property under contract at 60%- 65% of the after repair value. The after repair value (ARV) of the house is based on the comparable sales of similar houses within a radius of .25 miles or less and within the last 6 months or less.
The buyer will need to spend money on repairs and other costs. This amount will be considered when setting the selling price as well as the price you will pay for it. This may sound confusing at first but as you gain wholesaling experience, it will become second nature.
Tip #3 – Develop a Buyers List.
Once you develop your farm and have found a deal, you must have a buyer to be able to sell the property and make your money. This takes several approaches.
Attend local real estate investor meetings. Network and let people know that you are a wholesaler. Collect investor’s business cards. Ask if you can put them on your email list to let them know when you have a deal. You will never get a "no" to that question. You can collect names and info from people who call about deals that you advertise. You can call ads in the paper and if they are for sale by investors, get their info and ask if they like to be on your email list. It can be a slow process but you will be surprised how it will grow over time. The more the better. There are ways to build your buyer’s list on the internet that will be covered in a later article.
These are just three basic tips for the new investor who wants to start wholesaling houses. There is a lot to learn but it is learnable. Wholesaling can be a fun and profitable business.
