Why Don't More Realtors® Wholesale?
I'm frustrated.
Maybe I'm alone. However, sometimes it feels as though I am the ONLY one who seems to "get it." As a Realtor®, I recognize the inherent brainwashing that goes on in the industry with regards to investors, and wholesaling in general.
But how on earth does that explain the rampant ignorance about wholesaling in the Realtor Community?
By Ignorance, I do not mean stupidity. I mean simply being "unaware" of the benefits of adding wholesaling to their "toolbox" of skills as an Investing Realtor®.
I just wonder, is it because we simply don't TELL them about just how much MORE money they would make? Maybeif we did, they would be more willing to cooperate?
I don't know...
What do you think?

I'm trying to figure out how you can do it ethically. As a seller's agent it would be totally illegal and unethical. As a buyer's agent I am still not seeing how you can ethically sell the house to a buyer for more than the seller is asking. I would think you would have to totally step outside of your agency and do it as a personal transaction and still I think you would have ethical issues without a LOT of disclosures.
Please explain how you are doing the process.
