Hello. I am trying to start wholesaling in Columbus. I am not new to investing but am new to wholesaling. I've been working hard to educate myself on the end to end process (e.g., souring leads, negotiations, calculating MAO's, double closings vs. assignments, understanding the different markets/neighborhoods in Columbus, etc. etc.). The part that I'm stuck at is wholesaling nuances in OH specifically. I understand that a broker's license is needed to legitimately wholesale a property, and that without one, you can only market one's legal interest in the property. Is there a resource (a book, training, website, or anything else) anyone can recommend that will help me understand this area better? I understand that marketing the legal interest to a property means you cannot market photos of the property, but I see plenty of wholesalers do this, while still advertising that it's a "contract for sale".

Similarly, how does one show the property to investor buyers without photos? Can I even allow end buyers access to scout the property physically if I'm not legally allowed to market the property itself?

And if I can only market a contract for sale, can I even claim to the seller that I can "provide a cash offer"? Can I legitimately sell my services as a cash offer even though I'm not the end buyer?

Any guidance / direction would be appreciated. I've hit a roadblock and am having trouble findings answers to the above. Thanks!

Hey Mahinda,

I'd be happy to jump on a call with you sometime and walk you through the process, as well as the do's and don'ts. Feel free to reach out to me to setup a time to chat. Thanks!

It's a real analysis gig. There is a base pay and commission. It is not a cold call position. Appreciate the consideration Nicky!

We are a very active real estate investing company that currently wholesales, rehabs, constructs new builds, and holds rentals in Columbus. I’ve always made the best connections and friends through BiggerPockets. I’m always eager to meet or chat with anyone who is actively investing, thinking about investing, lending, or working in the industry in Columbus to see if there is anyway I can help!

My company is currently looking to partner up with a hungry individual who is ready to help us continue to grow our business. Our ideal partner would be someone who is extremely motivated to succeed, who is constantly learning and improving, and who consistently strives for excellence! We would be sourcing, negotiating, and acquiring discounted properties together. This is my area of expertise. You don’t need to have much experience but you have to have a passion for real estate!

Really looking forward to connecting with some new people!

I have a passion for real estate and I am in Columbus, Ohio

Yea, let's get together again @Remington Lyman. We seem to keep crossing paths recently.

I just wanted to throw out an open invite for anyone to reach out to me who is interested in real estate in Columbus!

I started wholesaling 2.5 years ago when I first moved to this city. I still do a significant amount of assignments, but have also really started to focus on building rentals (went from 2 units to 14 units in the last 9 months) and have several flips going on right now.

I’ve always found a tremendous amount of value connecting with other people who are interested or passionate about investing. I’m an open book and will help out any way I can. Let’s connect!

I have over 20 doors in Columbus, Ohio. I have been aggressively trying to buy more. I would be happy to connect with you.

Hey Remington. I know your on our buyers list and regularly speak with our Disposition person Heather from Invest In 614. We're moving our office to Clintonville next month. You'll have to swing by and meet us in person soon!
