Prop radar and prop wire have a bunch of different applications. Not just wholesale. You could do property management, lead generation data stuff…help owners sell they’re property (not f’ing em over) etc etc…
Most “wholesalers” are broke liars who prey on the elderly and ignorant. They act like they have money to buy property…but they just want to lowball the owner/seller and lock them under a 14-30 day contract while they go try and find someone with money to buy the house for $25k-$100k or more.
They lie to everyone.
Many of them don’t even have any buyers lined up…they might not even know any buyers at all. They just try to advertise your house for however long the contract is and waste ppls time or worse they find a buyer and f over the owner/seller.
Taking pictures smiling holding up $30k and $50k commission checks. Ripped off someone’s grandma…some btch sht.
In the sweetest grandson voice
“Oh yes Ms Martha we got you top dollar for your home, you might not be able to pay all your bills but atleast you got a few bucks for food and you can move into an apt now”
Ms Martha thinks this guy who looks like her grandson helped her…and he sure does play the role.
6 months later public record shows Ms Martha’s property sold for $50k more than she got…she’s struggling and some d*ck head is on a website holding up a big commission check smiling. I f’ing hate that wholesale bs.
Sheeeish ranting. I don’t think I’m better than anyone but what if that was your granny getting screwed over ? It’s f’d up. There’s much better ways of making money with real estate.
*I am not at all saying this is how you want to make money…just speaking in general if your familiar w the wholesale community you know what I’m talking about.
Sometimes gotta be careful with certain real estate groups. It can be just one guy eating at the top taking advantage of everyone else working for free.
You should! Biggest thing if you want to find buyers to work with that will pay you to find good deals …figure out they’re numbers.
Do your homework on them. Look at all the properties they’ve purchased in the past. You want to learn how repairs work so you can gauge roughly how much it costs to fix up houses and you can figure out how much profit your buyers are making w/o even asking them…Or…
Just ask them
“What’s your A.R.V. % goals”? (After repair value %)
Common is 70% "70/30 rule
Example :
- ARV = $500k
- Expected Renovation Costs: $100k
ARV Formula
- Maximum price = ARV x 70% – Repair Costs
- Maximum price = $500k * 0.7 – $100k
- Maximum purchase price @70% = $250k
Like how much R.O.I./ money do they want to make % wise after repair ? (70/30?)
So if you can buy that property at say $225k be transparent w your buyer…and ask for $5k-$10k commission.
Just keep replicating the process. Do good biz.
There’s buyers out there happy to make 20% or even less.
Now…you can also help ppl sell they’re property as well…you don’t even need a license. Help them get the best price for they’re home and ask for a small commission. 2%-3%
You can do pretty much everything a real estate agent can do…plus much more.
Develop good relationships with a bunch of solid real estate agents… Also it’s good to make friends with ppl at the title companies as well. Sincere friendly chat goes a long way. Don’t be fake.
Along the way you start building a contact list, and you’ll seeing and capitalizing on money making opportunities.
…just remember to always try and bring value to everyone.
Sheeish this is long. I get why ppl think I attend shardy parties. Lol I haven’t ranted in some time.
Nah but seriously so many ways to make money in real estate game. Being honest youll be ahead of 80% of the crowd.
