Hi, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com, the only site you need as a real estate investor. Today I've got quick video on what wholesaling is, and how to profit with it.
Wholesaling real estate provides an opportunity for someone to build income with little capital or credit, by simply buying below market value and selling below market value.
Wholesaling real estate (aka - flipping)
- Don't take ownership of that property.
- Assign the contract to another (end) buyer - close deal in your place.
- Very low risk - little or no money down!
- Usually sell to to investors with cash, lines of credit, or hard money loans = quick closings
Some investors call it "wholesaling real estate" others refer to it as "flipping properties." Regardless of the term you use, you can make quick cash from properties you don't own.
Step 1: Finding Distressed Properties
- Resources - Real Estate Clubs, Auctions, MLS, realtors, FSBO, Craigslist, etc...
- Profit Margins - Is there room to make money?
- Deposit - amount ranges, but indicates serious buyer
Example:
- Retail Market Value - $100,000 (fixed) - Negotiate price down - $60,000 - Repairs - $10k-$15k - Wholesale Price - $65,000 - YOUR profit = $5k Investor Profit = ~$20k
Step 2: Build Buyers List (refer to cash buyers video in channel)
- Ads (annotation) to show example
- Send Offer Details to Buyers list.

Step 3: Ways to Close (and profit)
Assignment - Name - buyer section you put your name (or your companies name) and/or Assignee. This gives you the right to assign the contract to another buyer for a fee.
- Title - give the title officer (or Attorney) the purchase contract as well as a one-page assignment form showing you assigned your interest in the property to a new buyer. That assignment form will display whom the new buyer is, the amount of the assignment fee, as well as how payout should occur.
Double Close
- use the back-end buyers funds to pass through you and pay off the original seller!
- Traditional Close with Transactional funding
- same Transactional Funding you would for a short sale or REO flip or find a good hard money lender in your area and close on the deal.
Summary, CTA
As mentioned before, wholesaling / flipping real estate allows people with little credit and capital to ease into the real estate business. You are simply the middleman who collects a fee for finding great investment deals. The reason why I say this is a great strategy for new investors is because there is low risk, you get to learn the business, and you make money in the process. I would say this strategy is the most basic, easy to learn, and easy to apply. Essentially, you are getting paid to learn, pretty cool right?

@HockeyAdvice - Thanks for your question. I'm 27, i've been involved in real estate for about 15 years, mostly managing rental properties for our family business (buy and holds). My first deal was done 3 years ago, which happened to be an owner occupied home that was being sold by the owner. I slipped in and paid $110K cash, at the time the property was worth around $160K, with about $20K in repairs. I ended up renting the property out and am currently cash flowing $300 a month on it.

how does the investor make 20k
HandsomeDee92 5 months ago
@HandsomeDee92 - If the deal is structured correctly, the Investor can make $20K based on the ARV - After Repaired Value. The investor (end buyer) is purchasing low and selling much higher, whereas the wholesaler is buying low and selling low.
