@Kyle Simmons

Yeah, 1-2% is fair, but as mentioned previously, as the seller you can ask for whatever amount that you feel comfortable with so the buyer doesn't have the urge to just walk away from the deal without having anything to lose. Keep in mind though, the higher the EMD requirement, you may end up having buyers pass on the deal, so just make sure the amount is fair to both sides. Here in IL you can have the buyer or sellers attorney hold it, or you can have the title company hold it. NEVER give it directly to an individual or you may get burned. Hope this helps.

@Adam F.

Hey, welcome to the BP Community. My advise would be to continue browsing the forums, interact with the community asking questions and just learning as much as you can. This will help guide you into the direction you ultimately go in. There is a great meet up on the north side of the city, @Brie Schmidt is the host and a great person. She can give you more info on the meet up dates/times. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Good luck

Post: 2 Off-Market Cash Flowing SFR's On Same Block!!

Just got a couple of new properties in and wanted to see if you would be interested. They are both currently rented and professionally managed. Both properties have been renovated within the last 3-4yrs per the owner of the properties, so newer windows, furnace, hot water tank, plumbing, electrical upgrades, flooring, etc. The tenants in each property are comfortable and do not have any desire to move anytime soon from my conversation with them, so these properties can make for some good cash flowing additions to your portfolio right on the same block across the street from one another, and there is also an equity position where you should have enough room to refinance and pull cash out on each of them. For each property, in the Dropbox link you will be able to view the pictures when the property was renovated & vacant, the current pictures as of 5/24/17, along with the current rent roll and leases for both properties. This area has a very strong rental market, and its desirability to a segment of tenants due to its close proximity to the major expressways and public transportation. Just check them out and let me know if there is any interest. Thanks. Here are the stats for each:

Property #1: 10111 S. Yates Blvd. **South Deering Area
  • 4bd 1ba
  • Full, U/F basement
  • 2ca Garage
  • Brick
Asking: $87k + Buyer pays ALL closing costs (transfer stamps, title insurance, title company fees)

ARV: $110k

Current Rent: $1,250/mo *See current lease and rent roll in Dropbox link

Repairs: Roof will be replaced in June-July per the seller. Can make arrangements to accommodate buyer should you move forward with purchase. No leak indicators inside the property, so just time for new shingles. Other then that property is in solid shape with minimum repairs needed as can be seen from pictures.

Post: New RE Wholesaler Looking For Advice

@Michael WIley

I would say the best place to start is right where you are-on this site. Read up on how to properly market to find motivated sellers, listen to the podcasts so you can learn how to wholesale properties the "legal" way (there are tons of people skating the thin line of a law suit  by doing things the wrong way and you just don't want to build a reputation of being on of those guys), and network with not only other wholesalers, but also serious buyers in the areas you plan to focus on. There are a lot of moving parts to wholesaling, and honestly its not as "easy" as some make it out to be. It does get easier as you develop systems and automate different aspects of your business, but in the beginning you have to be willing to put in a lot of work for you to be successful. If you ever need any advice or have any questions feel free to reach out. Even though I do a few different things in my real estate business, wholesaling is a major focus in my business because I actually like that the most compared to being an agent, rehabbing, and being a landlord. Good luck, and look forward to seeing you around the site.

@Brandon Rodriguez

Are you looking for a sheet to help guide your own rehab that you're going to perform, or something to put together a itemized rehab budget for a buyer that you will be selling a wholesale deal to? I ask because when you wholesale, you will never hit the rehab numbers right on the head in comparison with someone else-there are just too many variables. There could be a difference in labor costs as well as materials, so you just want to be able to give an accurate rehab estimate on what it should cost to get the property up to standards. You don't want to take a "guess" and say something like $10k, then 2-3 other experienced rehabbers look at the same deal and are in the range of $35-40k. I'd say start talking with experienced rehabbers in your target areas, and ask them what do they usually spend on renovations for a particular size property in a particular condition. This way you will have a good idea of what price range a buyer would need to be in for their rehab budget when you put together your ad for your wholesale deals. If I can help in any way feel free to reach out. I am by no means an expert rehabber, but I have about 6 rehabs under my belt so far, and countless deals I have analyzed the rehab budgets on. Hope this helps. Good luck
