@Micquel Bernier-

So if you already know the ARV work backwards ill do an example here lets say ARV is 100k next your going to minus 30% for your investor. You are now at 70k, Now subtract repair cost, lets say another 30k. Now your at 40k, subtract 5k for the realtor once your buyer sells and also 5k for closing cost on the buy and sell. You are now at 30k. Now your job is to get this property under contract for 25k then find a buyer and be transparent as possible and assign the contract for 5k. Your buyer will be all in for 30k and you will make 5k at closing.

    @Micquel Bernier you first need to evaluate the property to make sure it is at a discount (40% and up off)... It's not enough just to find a property someone is willing to sell

    @Micquel Bernier you can if you have the money... Or you can use Zillow to determine the value by comparing the property to other houses that have sold in the area in recent times that are about the same size and condition

    @Micquel Bernier. You are estimating what it will sell for if it was in perfect condition... It's called ARV After Repair Value

    To wholesale a property, you must buy at deep enough discount that you can sell to an investor who can rehab and also make profit.

    To buy and sell ANY property, you must know:

    • The true after-repaired-value (which you cannot find on free sites like Zillow. Those Zestimate values are all over the place...)
    • The needed rehabs and those costs.
    • How much you plan to sell it for.

    If you don't know those numbers, don't buy.

    @Micquel Bernier find someone with experience in your market to co-wholesale with and split the profits until your confident in your abilities.
