Great information @Darrell Jones I really appreciate. I really want a win win solution for everyone in the deal. So I will take that into serious consideration.

Hi Everyone,

I have a question. I am hoping that this will be my first wholesale deal. I have a motivated seller who owns a condo in a very sought out neighborhood in DC. It's a 1 bedroom 1 bath condo about 502 sq. ft. Condo fees are $467, yearly taxes are $2,062. It's in poor condition. Condos are selling for $300k in the building. The taxed assessed value is $242,600. 

Things that need renovating:

The kitchen

The bathroom

New floors (or rebuffed)

All new paint

New cabinets

All new appliances

New counters

I have an investor that is willing to offer $150-200k for it. I think this would be a good price for the owner, she is elderly and needs some savings.

What would be a reasonable wholesale fee be? I have a hard time factoring those numbers and what a good rule of thumb is.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks! @Joshua Dorkin I've just completed my analysis paralysis which has lasted what it seems like forever, I'm looking forward to reading these articles to serve as a reminder to not go back. Whatever we are thinking, doing always prevails!

Welcome! @Kevin Miller You're in great hands. I'm in MD so not too far from you. I'm just getting started after a year of analysis paralysis or paralysis analysis but I've also been a full time real estate agent for this past year. There's tons of information but you just have to dive in and everything is trial an error. Good luck!

Hi BP!

I was a member about a year ago, then forgot my password and deleted the email associated with the account. Now I'm back with a "new look". I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you, learn, grow and be of service!
