How to Close REO Wholesale Deals (Part 4 of 5): Using an LLC

by Stephani Davis | October 1, 2009

Today’s article is part four in a five part series, where I will be shedding light on the various methods available to close REO wholesale deals and get around the “No-Assignment” clause that most banks include in their addenda.

If you decide to use this method to close your REO wholesale deals, you will be making your offer to the bank in the name of an LLC, creating the LLC if/when the bank accepts your offer, and then selling your membership/ownership in the LLC to your end buyer in exchange for your wholesale fee.  When using this strategy, you are not selling the actual property to your end buyer, but rather the LLC which owns the contract to purchase the property.

When using the Quitclaim Deed Method, you will be adding your end buyer onto the purchase contract that you have with the bank, and then giving them a quit claim deed after closing in exchange for your wholesale fee.
