Frequently Asked Questions

What is wholesale real estate?

Wholesaling is finding distressed properties under contract and assigning that contract to an end buyer (usually a flipper or landlord) for a fee. You never actually close on the property or take ownership.

How much can I make on a wholesale deal?

Typical wholesale assignment fees range from $5,000 to $15,000 per deal. Larger deals in expensive markets can command $20,000+ fees. Your profit depends on finding good deals and having a strong buyers list.

Do I need money to wholesale?

Wholesaling requires minimal capital - usually just earnest money deposits ($500-$2,000) and marketing costs. This makes it a popular entry point into real estate investing.

What is the 70% rule for wholesaling?

When calculating your Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO), subtract your assignment fee from the standard 70% rule: MAO = (ARV × 0.70) - Rehab Costs - Your Fee. This ensures the end buyer has enough margin.
