Inspection Period

[Edward Mitchell]

Will I need to inspect the property or just make sure the end buyer does his inspection within the inspection period?

Edward,

You asked if you need to inspect the property or just the end buyer needs to do the inspection?  As has been pointed out, you don't have to do the inspection, however I would suggest you do (as long as it is practical to make the visit).  The reason I suggest this is because people from your buyer's list will want to know as much as they can about the property before investing their time to go inspect it themselves.  You will be a better, more valuable wholesaler IF you provide accurate AND complete information to potential buyers.  IF you can't provide details about the property, you may lose out on potential buyers that would have otherwise been interested in buying it.  One other suggestion I always make to newer wholesalers.....whatever you do, do NOT exaggerate or be overly optimistic with your ARVs.  If you do that more than once, many of the serious cash buyers will no longer trust your numbers and they will be reluctant to seriously consider your properties in the future.  I have seen this happen many times, which is why I think it is worth mentioning.  Good luck!!
