You want local forms. Here in CO, there are some very specific laws about foreclosures, for example, using the wrong form can land you in "font size jail". I'd sure hate to tell my cell mate I'm in for using the wrong font on a contract, but that's the way the law reads.

No, I've not done a wholesale transaction. I'm focused on REOs, at the moment. I am on the buyers list for a number of local wholesalers, though, and have spoken with quite a number of them. Its a fairly common topic at our REIA, so I've heard fairly thorough descriptions of various forms of wholesale transactions.

I'd recommend getting a few books on RE investing, and start reading. "Flipping Properties" that you mention above, for example, walks through the process.


Is flipping home the same concept of wholesaling?

I have this great book I want you to buy..It was written by my good friend Al Gore (who invented the Internet in case you didn't know) and since I like you, I will give you a today only discount of 75 cents......hurry, operators are standing by.

To become a millionaire just buy more houses, at a bigger discount (65% ARV)....make sure they cash flow...and hold onto them for a long time...Also do a lot of subject-to's so you aren't putting any money into the deal.

What you ment by 65% ARV. Does mean I have to find a property under a 65 percent discount under its current market value?
