Why are you double closing? I can only assume your profit was sizable thus you didn't want the end buyer to get upset or negotiate a lower price. 

You are correct. The profit was quite sizable. I couldn't take the risk of letting the seller see it on the HUD.

I am an wholesaler who recently had a double close. i would like to know the following?

-Are my proceeds subject to capital gains tax?

-If so, What portion of my proceeds will be subject to the capital gains tax?

-Considering the fact that my primary business is wholesaling, shouldn't my proceeds be taxed as ordinary income?


I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can shed some more light on this issue for me.

 Yes, there is no capital gain. It’s an ordinary income that is also taxes as self employment income if you are in the business of wholesale. You need to do a tax planning to reduce your tax burden. Self-employment income is taxes as high as 50%.

 Thank you!!

Yes, they are taxed as ordinary income (doesn’t matter if this is your regular business or not) plus SS/med tax of 15.3%.

Thanks! Just to clarify, will it be subject to capital gains tax since it was a double close?

@Dave Foster I super appreciate your reply. I will reply here and pm you with any other questions that may come up. Thank you and thanks for connecting!!

Hi Guys, I am excited to join this community! I currently have a wholesale deal in which the seller would like to 1031 her proceeds. I am aware that 1031 exchanges come with its rules and regulation that can make things difficult for wholesalers. How can I legally have my wholesale fee on the HUD?

I would appreciate any suggestions and insight. Thank you!!
