I’m thinking about working for a wholesaler
I am getting laid off my w2 job here in a few weeks. I also have a active real estate license in Texas. Im thinking about going to work with a buddy of mine who works for a wholesaling company. He said you get 20% of the assignment fee. I figured I might as well since I’ll have some unemployment and and severance pay to get me by while I grind for deals. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on what they would do in my situation. I get listings here and there from an investor friend of mine who does fix and flips. He is strongly urging me to learn how to do this as well.
