Wholesaling a Occupied Rental Property

[Shanae Williams]

Hey everyone! How do you calculate a offer on a wholesale rental property potential deal. ?

[Patti Robertson]

Your question is a bit confusing.  Really wholesale has nothing to do with the question.  Your question is really, what should I offer on an investment property, right? The answer to this is always - it depends.  It depends on the goals of the buyer.  There are so many different ways to measure success on rental property, and none of them are more right or wrong than the others. It just depends on what the investors goals are.  Some people measure success by their cash on cash return on investment.  Some measure the internal rate of return.  Others only care about the monthly cash flow.  Some require a measure of instant equity.  Some won’t consider an investment unless they will have strong appreciation. Most people want a combination of these.  

Are you the buyer, or are you trying to lock up a rental in a contract and wholesale it to a landlord buyer? Knowing this will help people advise you.
