It allows you to negotiate deals while risking minimal capital. But it\u2019s not as easy as just finding a deal, passing it off to someone else and getting paid. It\u2019s vital that you properly educate yourself about the factors involved in wholesaling deals so that you\u2019ll be able to negotiate deals which have a positive outcome for yourself, the seller, and ultimately the buyer. Before getting involved in any deal, be sure to understand the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand the local real estate market and have a solid estimate of what a given property can sell for<\/li>\n<li>Understand the carrying costs that will be associated with a given property before it is sold (for example, property taxes and insurance)<\/li>\n<li>Understand what it will cost to renovate the property<\/li>\n<li>Understand the costs associated with financing the deal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Armed with knowledge about the above, you\u2019ll be able to negotiate a deal where a real estate investor can buy a property, renovate it, and sell it at a profit while at the same time paying your fee for bringing the deal to them.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure you have a system to generate quality off-market leads so that any investor you work with can purchase properties at a low enough price to ensure they\u2019ll be able to sell at a profit. It\u2019s also vitally important to have an attorney or group of attorneys familiar with wholesaling deals (don\u2019t just hire an attorney who has handled other matters for you!).<\/p>\n<p>The ideal way to proceed is to get a contract of sale with an assignment clause. An assignment clause allows you to hand off the contract of sale to someone else (i.e., the real estate investor you\u2019re working with) who will close on the sale in your place.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at an example where you\u2019ve got a property under contract for $190,000, and your investor has agreed to spend $200,000. The assignment clause in your contract allows you to assign the contract to a third party (the investor). You\u2019ll make a down payment of $5,000 after which the investor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Runs title on the property<\/li>\n<li>Attends the closing and closes the sale in your place<\/li>\n<li>Refunds your $5,000 down payment, and pays your fee (for example, $10,000)<\/li>\n<li>Pays the seller their $190,000 selling price<\/li>\n<li>Proceeds to handle the remainder of the project on their end (renovation, sale)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After this, both you as the wholesaler and the investor you work with are positioned to repeat the process with a new property. Using the system outlined above provides protection for all parties involved and helps to ensure that you all make money on your deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wholesaling is a great way to get involved in real estate investing.
