I have 2 important questions about wholesaling !!!

[Alexia N.]

Question 1:

When talking to a seller, you’re supposed to introduce yourself & say what company you’re calling. BUT... not everyone who is doing wholesaling is doing it from an actual real estate business. Some of us are doing wholesaling from our homes. I plan on creating my own real estate business later on in my wholesale journey. But telling the seller “Hi, my name is ___ & I’m calling from my house.” is clearly UNPROFESSIONAL.

So WHERE do I tell the seller that I’m calling from if I’m not with an actual real estate company?

Question 2:

I’m super girly. I’m NOT a professional home inspector. Of course I have no idea how to actually identify what is wrong with someone’s house & know what needs to be repaired.

So should I pay a professional inspector to inspect the home to see all of the repairs that need to be done or do I just ask the seller what repairs need to be done & believe their word?
