Wholesaling "products"

[Carlos O.]

Hello all,

I am interested in wholesaling and looking for more information about it. You see, wholesaling to me means more than just than just getting a property under contract and selling it of for a profit. I want to do more than that. I have two main reasons. 1.  I expect to run into a lot of properties that just won't meet the wholesaling criteria. I'm thinking there has to be things I can do to help the client and still make money by helping them.  2. One of my goals is to build a reputation as a problem solver, even if that doesn't involve selling a house.

I've heard of things like sub2 deals, which I am not very familiar with. I can direct the seller to a real estate agent and make some money off the lead. What else can I offer to a client that will provide value for them and profit for me? To put my question in a different way, what do you guys do when you run into clients that don't fit the wholesaling criteria?

If you expect a shared commission from a Real Estate Agent, you had better get a license. It's a good idea anyway, for the educational benefits.
