N/A N/A rehab vs flipping
26 November 2006 | 23 replies
so in order to wholesale properties i was thinking of marketing something along the lines of distinguishing the differences between realtors (who market 100's of properties) and a smaller wholesaler (who focuses on 1, 2, or 3 houses at a time).i see the main differences being:1. a wholesaler pays alot more close attention to moving the property.2. the seller receives earnest money 3. the wholesaler, if they're good, have buyers, financing and marketing all set up ahead of time4. the wholesaler doesn't charge a % commission.5. the wholesaler works to SELL in 30 days or 45 days at the most.i know that alot of talk is going around about how a wholesalers assignment fee is like a realtors commission - but i mean, that's just downright ridiculous.a wholesaler signs a CONTRACT TO BUY...whereas the realtor signs listing agreement.

Many lenders, including myself are not going to even try to distinguish between residential homestead and residential investment property - we are just going to stick with commercial property where the borrower can't later move in and have his attorney claim we made a non conforming consumer loan.Casualty of excessive Government interference in the market.

When we combined our INBOX with our Notifications tab last week, we wanted to make sure that users could distinguish between just having a lot of alerts and other notifications, and having actual messages in the PM inbox waiting.So, we just launched the new Yellow Envelope indicator:As you can see from the image above, this indicator will only show when you have PMs in your inbox.
Manuel A. Average time it takes to find a deal?
5 June 2012 | 14 replies
@Clay Huber "Deal" is subjective and opinions of length can vary, that's why I gave a time constraint; "from when you start looking to closing".As for wholesalers, I posted this in the rehab section to distinguish it but maybe I'll be even more specific for them next time too.
