Buying Via Wholesaler
Hi BP!
So... I currently have 2 properties (duplex and condo - both were bought with the help of a realtor). I recently found a condo for sale by a local wholesaler, but I'm not sure how the process differs from using a realtor. Should I use a realtor still? Should I submit an offer myself with the help of an attorney? Is the offer written to the wholesaler or to the property owner? I am completely in the dark on this process and would appreciate any support! Thanks so much!

You can't just be concerned with buyers. The problems is what most sellers are promised. Look at all the threads from posters asking how to get out of a contract....via bogus escape clauses. Representations made to sellers, usually false, are the biggest problem. If you can walk in, tell a seller you have no intention of buying but only want to try and sell the contract and they still sign, you are a great marketer. In ANY business what counts? Honesty. That is what makes or breaks a reputation.
