I currently wholesale hear in Atlanta but focus mainly on the properties that are under $100k. Are there bigger profit margins in properties at a higher price range and are buyers even considering properties at that level?

Are you doing a lot of deals in the 100k range? If you can make money doing what you are doing they keep with it. If you try to target another market you need a whole new set of customers and clients (expensive). If you want to work with expensive houses become a realtor and sell to owners.

As others mentioned, your market will have a large factor in determining which way is better.
If you wholesale to rehab flippers and they are mostly after sub $100k properties, you will find it harder to find buyers at higher levels unless you build a buyers list for such properties. Here in my area, $100k will get you some land and possibly a garage, no house.

My exit values on homes that I rehab flip are usually between $300k and $500k. Those I have wholesaled are all over $200k and as such, there is more room for higher wholesale fees. The higher the spread you get, the higher you can earn a fee.

Of course, the numbers game should also be considered. If you can wholesale several per month in the sub $100k level in your area and make $2k or so each, you have yourself a nice income.

I would advise you differently. I suggest to keep doing what your doing but add the $100-$125k homes to your effort. Just keep moving up a notch every now and then and expand your market each time your ready.

After speaking with a few of my buyers, most of them stay in the sub $100k range anyway for a number of different reasons so I will stay there for now, at least until someone asks me to find them a deal in that price range.
