Wholesaling

Flip This REO! eBook

November 6, 2009

I don’t generally promote other people’s products on this site, for one very good reason — most of the products I’ve seen from other “gurus” are complete crap. Not only would I not endorse those products, I don’t want my name or my reputation associated with them.
In fact, if you’ve been following my site [...]

Responding to Seller Questions

August 21, 2009

I only buy bank-owned foreclosures, and as such, I buy all my properties right off the MLS. But, many (probably most) investors look to take advantage of all the sellers in this market who are desperate to get rid of their homes, either because of a difficult financial situation or a life change (divorce, [...]

Building a Buyers List

June 27, 2009

Starting out in real estate a relatively short time ago, it’s been reassuring to find other investors out there who are also working to build their businesses and become successful investors in the face of tough economic times and a tough real estate market. One of those people is Scott Costello, an up-and-coming wholesaler [...]

House #10: Under Contract

June 12, 2009

It only took 24 hours, but The Deja Duplex is under contract to sell…and true to its name, it’s getting sold to the same buyer as The Roach Duplex.
It pretty sad to think that we hadn’t considered calling this guy to ask if he wanted this one also, until we were on our way to [...]

House #10: Officially Ours

June 11, 2009

We closed on the purchase of The Deja Duplex today, and have decided that we’re going to try to wholesale this one, just as we did the one next door.
In fact, we may even sell it to the same buyer!
We called the buyer of The Roach Duplex today on the way to the closing, to [...]

Looking for Wholesalers

March 9, 2009

I’ve had a few people who read my blog and live in Atlanta, who have approached me about wholesaling deals to me. First, let me say that I’m always interested in purchasing good deals — as far as I’m concerned, if both sides can make a nice profit, it’s win/win all around.
For the sake [...]

House #7: Lots of Calls

January 30, 2009

In trying to wholesale The (Former) Roach Duplex, I put a number of ads on real estate websites and placed a few signs around town. I was very surprised to find that I got fewer than 5 calls yesterday from my marketing, and was getting a bit discouraged. But that all changed today. [...]

House #7: Wholesale Marketing

January 28, 2009

As I mentioned previously, before pursuing any other exit strategy, I want to try to wholesale The Roach Duplex (note: the seller actually had someone come in and completely clean the interior of this property, so it’s actually not a “roach duplex” any longer)…
To wholesale, I need to do a lot of marketing. I [...]

Building a Buyers List

January 27, 2009

Now that I have my first property under contract that I’d even consider wholesaling (buying and immediately selling to another investor for a profit), I need to start building a list of other investors in the area that I can market this and future properties to. I’m not positive I’d be able to (or [...]
