Wholesale to Opendoor, Offerpad, and Zillow Offers?

[Jon Catterson]

I listened to a BP podcast in which the guest pulled a list of all business entity purchases of homes in the past six months in order to find where her competitors were buying. I did the same to find the zip codes where the most fix-and-flips are happening in order to market to those zips. It also turned out to be a good way to find buyers. I arrived at one with three separate entities with a similar name that had purchased 11 properties in the last six months, highest on the list. The buyer - Zillow.

I’m guessing this is through their Zillow Offers platform. That got me thinking, could I just wholesale properties to Opendoor, Offerpad, Zillow Offers, etc.? They would probably be a very reliable buyer assuming the deals are solid. I’m just not sure if it’s possible to do so with the property just under contract.

Thoughts?
