    Hi Robert, 

    When it comes to hard money there are a variety of uses...
    When you mention wholesaling, are you planning on actually closing on the property or simply assigning the contract? If assigning the contract you wouldn't need any funding.. What you are looking for may be considered gator funding, where an investor lends you money for EMD and typically expects a return on the deal itself.

    Hi Robert, 

    If you wholesale properly, you don't need to come out of pocket at all. You would assign the contract and have whoever the Buyer is pay all of that.

     I think he is referring to Earnest Money Deposit to get it under contract.

     Exactly 


    Typically EMD is like $3-$5k. I would focus on saving the money for an EMD before doing anything in real estate.

    Sound advise. 

    The rule of thumb is EMD is typically 1% of the purchase contract price.
