Wholesaling

Wholesaling

Boston, MA · Member since 2013 · 34 posts · 0 votes

I went to a Robert Kiyosaki meeting about 2 weeks ago and wholesaling was talked about for a little bit and since that day I have been researching and educating myself especially on here. As a rookie with no real estate experience any beginners tips on wholesaling will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

There are a few things you need to learn.

1. How to find sellers

2. How to value properties (Determine ARV)

3. How to estimate repairs

4. How to establish your buy price aka Maximum Allowable Offer MAO

5. How to find buyers

What would you like to start with?

    Hey Maria,
    always glad to help another Bostonian or Real estate Investor.

    I'm assuming by wholesaling you are not taking possession? You're Selling before your Buying or Selling a Contract to Buy?

    There's a gentleman in our Association that has more gumption than most and will go anywhere to meet an owner and propose a sale where he makes money ($5-10k) and his buyer makes money. This is the first hurdle to overcome.

    There's a lot to this and a lot of info on BP but do you have any specific questions?
    Good Luck Investing, Mike

    Welcome Maria J.
    Try to be more specific like Paul Sorgi gave you some examples. There is so much to learn about wholesaling. I am a buyer so maybe we can talk sometime. Best of luck

    Welcome to BP Maria! Paul did a good job of breaking it down. There is a lot of information on this site about each of Paul's points. You should consider going to local real estate investor networking meetings and learning from people in person. Finally I would recommend looking at Alex Youngblood's full-time wholesaling Facebook group
