Wholesaling question (Texas)

[Tiffany L Ingram]

Hello fellow Investors.  I have a super green novice question.  Let me preface this by saying, I am not a wholesaler.  However, my question is directly related to the wholesaling process.  From the wholesale/assignment deals that I have seen come through, wholesalers appear to be conduits, they just move the properties for a nominal fee, usually between $2500-$5000.  If someone is acting as a wholesaler and expecting to assign a property and gain a $60,000 return on the assignment, wouldn't that be completely unrealistic on a deal that would only yield about $34K after all expenses, including rebah?  Any insight you are willing to provide is much appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your time.
