Optimize Your Wholesale DealsWhat is Real Estate Wholesaling?
Real estate wholesaling is an investment strategy where an individual (the "wholesaler") contracts a distressed or undervalued property with a seller, then assigns that contract to an end buyer (typically a cash buyer or rehabber) for a higher price. The wholesaler profits from the difference, known as the "assignment fee," without ever taking ownership of the property.
Success in wholesaling hinges on finding motivated sellers, accurately calculating the property's After Repair Value (ARV) for the end buyer, estimating repair costs, determining a viable offer price for the seller, and setting an assignment fee that the market will bear.
The Wholesaler's Dilemma: Balancing Seller, Buyer, and Profit
A basic wholesale calculation might seem simple: ARV - Repairs - Desired Buyer Profit - Your Fee = Offer to Seller. But this often leads to:
- Overpaying Sellers: If your ARV or repair estimates are off, your MAO to the seller might be too high, eroding your (and your buyer's) profit.
- Unrealistic Assignment Fees: Slapping on a standard $10k or $20k fee without understanding what the end buyer can truly afford or what the market dictates for that deal type.
- Ignoring End-Buyer Viability: Does the deal actually work for a flipper or landlord after your fee? If their numbers don't make sense, your deal won't sell.
- Market Blindness: Is there actual demand from cash buyers for this type of property, in this condition, at this price point in your market?
Wholesaling successfully requires a delicate balance. A simple calculator can't navigate these complexities or tell you if your "spread" is truly marketable.
