Wholesaling

Wholesaling

Contract properties below market value and assign the contract to end buyers (investors) for a fee — without ever owning the property.

How It Works

  1. Find a motivated seller with a below-market property
  2. Get the property under contract at a discount
  3. Find an investor buyer willing to pay more
  4. Assign your contract (or double-close) for a profit

Assignment Fee

The difference between your contract price and the buyer's price. Typical wholesale fees range from $5,000 to $20,000+ per deal.

Pros

  • No capital needed (you don't buy the property)
  • No credit requirements
  • Quick turnaround (weeks, not months)
  • Great way to learn the market

Cons

  • Requires strong marketing and negotiation skills
  • Income is active (not passive)
  • Some states have licensing requirements
  • Deal flow can be inconsistent
