Single-family residence wholesale investment.

Purchase price: $125,000
Cash invested: $2,500
Sale price: $140,000

We helped a Marion, AR homeowner sell his home as-is with no realtor fees. Located in a desirable neighborhood, the property needed only light rehab. Our team even assisted with packing and relocation to ensure a smooth move. We assigned the deal to a repeat buyer who was thrilled with the opportunity. A true win-win made possible by our commitment to value, integrity, and care.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

A homeowner reached out to us after seeing one of our bandit signs. From initial contact to signing the contract, the process took about 30 days. He was an older gentleman looking to liquidate and downsize. Initially, he was seeking a higher price and even went quiet for about two weeks. However, he eventually reconnected with us, and we were able to reach a mutually agreeable price of $120,000. We were happy to assist him and successfully closed the deal.

We had the privilege of assisting a local homeowner in Marion, AR by purchasing his property completely as-is, with no realtor fees or commissions involved. This home, located in a highly desirable, cookie-cutter neighborhood, required only light rehab — making it a perfect opportunity for our network of trusted buyers.

Understanding the homeowner's situation, our team went the extra mile by personally helping him pack and relocate to his next home, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition. Once under contract, we successfully assigned this deal to one of our repeat buyers, who was thrilled with the property's potential. Another win-win solution, made possible by our commitment to delivering value with integrity and care.

Purchase price: $47,000
Cash invested: $7,000
Sale price: $85,000

This deal was sentimental as I grew up on this street and wholesaled a house across the road just 1.5 years ago. I found this property driving for dollars after leaving the barbershop 🤣 and noticed it was being trashed out. I contacted the owner, left a voicemail, and got a callback a week later. We agreed on $47K, closed in 10 days, and resold for $85K. Another higher offer came later, teaching us the value of having a dispositions specialist. A great deal and learning experience!

This acquisition was especially sentimental to me because I have so many childhood memories on this street. I attended middle school here and spent many years growing up in the area. Just a year and a half ago, I wholesaled the house directly across the street from this property, making this deal even more meaningful.

I found this property while driving for dollars after leaving the local barbershop/garage shop 🤣. I noticed the house looked like it was being trashed out, so I immediately reached out to the owner. I couldn’t reach him at first, but I left a voicemail. A week later, the owner returned my call and expressed interest in selling. I met with him the next day and made an offer in the range of $40,000 to $50,000. We ultimately agreed on $47,000.

We closed the deal in just 10 days and resold the property for $85,000 shortly after. Interestingly, right after accepting that offer, another buyer reached out with an even higher bid. This taught us an important lesson: it might be time to bring on a dedicated dispositions specialist to ensure we maximize our spreads on every deal. Overall, this was a fantastic takedown deal and a great learning experience!

The wholesale deal for 4390 Annie Mae Cv, Millington, TN, greatly impacted all parties involved. The seller's family, burdened by a vacant and vandalized house, simply wanted to eliminate the mortgage. Discovered by "driving for dollars," the property had an ARV of $215,000 and a remaining loan balance of $86,000. The deal was assigned for $120,000, with the buyer making $5,000, resulting in a $38,000 profit. Coordination with out-of-state family members and affidavit of heirships enabled the cl
