Hot Market-HELP
Hi All,
I am still fairly new to the wholesaling arena and my current market is on fire right now (Houston). It is definitely a seller's market. Does anyone have any advice on what list would be good to target (outside of absentee) during this type of market? I feel that sellers now know that they can get more for their homes and they aren't as willing to deal with wholesalers. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Darell

Why wholesaling? Why not actually invest (i.e. buy, hold, cashflow)? Wholesaling is just another job, like "flipping". Check out this simple strategy:
-Hard money lenders will give you up to 75% ARV on a property (including funds for rehab).
-After rehab and with tenant in place, conventional lending will refinance the home for at least 75% of its market value.
1.) Buy a property for 50% ARV,
2.) Rehab it for under 25% ARV,
3.) Find a qualified tenant to rent it,
4.) Refinance 75% of the market value
5.) You now own a cash flow property with little or no money in the deal
6.) Repeat, continuously.
Wholesale if you're looking for a new job; invest if you want to invest.
