Can’t Sell My Wholesale Deal, Now What???
Have you ever tied up a deal that you thought you were going to be able to wholesale and make some quick cash, but it just didn’t work out that way you thought??
Is this a reason for you to throw your hands up into the air in despair and say to yourself, “Wholesaling doesn’t work, I knew it!”
Well watch this quick video as I shed some light on the subject
3 Things You can Do to Protect Yourself in a Wholesale Deal
1. Make Sure You are Contracting the Deal Correctly in the First Place
Take the ARV (After Repaired Value) of the property and follow the traditional wholesaler’s formula
150,000 X .70 = 105,000 – 30K in Repairs = 75K You wanna make 20K? that means you must buy for 55K
Always assume high on repairs…. 15K minimum is always a guideline to follow even when the seller tells you it is in GREAT shape..lol
2. Make Sure You are Working with REAL Buyers
Make sure you are dealing with buyers that are ACTIVELY buying in today’s market. You will waste your time dealing with wannabe’s and investors that don’t have their financing in line. You can use Listsource.com to locate these people. Just look for different mailing addresses for the taxes rather than the actual property address
3. Give Yourself an “Honest Out” of the Deal
The beauty of wholesaling houses is that it has little to ZERO risk when it comes to real estate investing. The goal of this is not have a “weasel clause” but to have an honest agreement between you and the seller. This will give you an honest out if you cannot find a buyer for the deal and wont tie up the seller for more than a couple weeks.
Quick Courteous Tip
**** Do not tie up properties that are in foreclosure or situations where the seller is on a tight deadline unless you are 99% sure you can move the deal*** Just do the right thing
