What is Wholesaling in Real Estate?
Wholesaling in real estate is a strategy that allows investors to capitalize on opportunities without the need to purchase properties outright. It’s a perfect entry point for new investors and a powerful tool for seasoned professionals.
How Does Wholesaling Work?
Wholesaling involves finding properties that are being sold below market value, often due to distress or motivated sellers. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Find a Property: Locate a property being sold at a discount. This could be due to various reasons such as foreclosure, inheritance, or simply a motivated seller.
- Contract the Property: Negotiate a purchase agreement with the seller. The agreement will give you the right to buy the property at a specified price within a certain timeframe.
- Find a Buyer: Once you have the property under contract, you find a buyer willing to purchase it at a higher price.
- Assign the Contract: Instead of purchasing the property yourself, you assign your purchase rights to the buyer. The difference between your contracted price with the seller and the price the buyer agrees to pay is your profit.
We’ve designed a 4-part series to guide you through this process. Each month, our Wholesaling & New Investor Focus Group, which meets on the first Wednesday, will dive into these topics. Here’s a preview of what we’ll be exploring in the group:
