Good luck Todd. Wholesaling in the right market is definitely the way to build reserves for buy and hold. What I like so much about it, is we don't have to see the house. We are not buying it, the C buyer needs to see it. Just saying, you can spread your wings outside Michigan.

Hi Jordan No need to spend 6k for coaching and don't even think about spending 10K on marketing with out small tests first.

Everyone wants off market deals, right? I assume that's because they don't want the added commission.

What If; a property is available in same price range as cash buyers are paying in that area?
Shh! don't tell the seller but the investor demands far bigger discounts than a 6% MLS Commission, correct?

What If; we have a contact list of those buyers and know precisely what they are doing right down to average cost per sqft?
Retail Comps always excluded. Skews the results

What If; some additional due diligence is done for them?
1/ Condensed Home Inspection Report.
2/ One Owner Back Title Report.

There is more, please PM for full details.

This strategy can also be applied to Huds and REO's,
neither of which allow assignments or flips.

Foot Note
This is just one strategy in one city.
The ultimate road to success involves multiple strategies, in multiple carefully selected cities. Cherry Picking the best deals in each city. Agree?
Are you up for it? I certainly am, but need a JV Partner.

Just my Favorites below.
Probates, MLS, Bankruptcy, Absentee Landlords, Notes

There is more, please PM for full details.

One or more JV Partners wanted to Implement one or more of the following strategies:
* Flipping Companies
* Flip Performing Notes, 10% Commission. (Note Commission's are legal, broker license not required)
* Flipping Probates
* Have excellent strategy for wholesaling MLS Properties. Yes you can!

Certain expenses can be shared with a small group, making this plan very cost effective.

You can focus on just one or all of the above mentioned Strategies.

Do you want to Buy and Hold? Cherry Pick the very best, that come into the group.

Have I covered everyone? If not, let me know and I will see if i can pencil in, you and your Strategy.
