4. Introduction

4.1. What is "Wholesaling" Real Estate

4.1.1. Wholesaling real estate is simply finding a property at a discounted price and getting the property under "contract" to purchase.

4.1.2. Then taking that "contract" to purchase the property to another investor and selling them that "contract" for a fee! THAT'S IT.

4.1.3. 1. You find a motivated seller and offer to buy their Property (A->B)

4.1.4. 2. You locate an investor or rehabber that is looking to buy property and you sell them the "Contract" (B->C)

4.1.5. 3. Bring the contracts to title company or closing attorney and You get Paid!

4.1.6. Example Deal

4.1.6.1. ARV (After Value Repair) $100,000

4.1.6.2. Repairs needed $20,000

4.1.6.3. You want to make a $10,000 wholesaling fee.

4.1.6.4. Calculated offer

4.1.6.4.1. 70% of the ARV ($100,000) = $70,000

4.1.6.4.2. $70,000 - $20,000 (Repairs) = $50,000

4.1.6.4.3. $50,000 - $10,000 ( Wholesale Fee) = $40,000

4.1.6.4.4. Buy from the seller for $40,000

4.1.6.4.5. Sell to the buyer for $50,000

4.1.6.4.6. Or... you assign your contract for $10,000

4.1.6.4.7. (You are really selling the "Contract") You are NOT selling the Property " Check with Your local Attorney

4.1.6.4.8. You make the $10,000 wholesale fee

4.1.6.4.9. NOTE: 70% of the AVR will change depending on the market

4.2. The importance of mindset
