I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

If you are doing unpermitted work, it’s either too small a project or you probably don’t want to spend the money.So the market for such inspectors is probably small. 

Purchase price: $73,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Current market rent $1295 vs $1300 for Section 8.

It is not that good at the price point of DC or in my market (but better than my market).  

With that said Phoenix had one of the highest home price declines in the last market down turn.  

Quote from @Devin James: We’ve slowly been improving our homes the more we’ve built and the more feedback we get from our Buyers2021 – Added 8ft doors throughout the home2022 – Added a new elevation with stone in the front of the home2023 – NO carpet in the bedrooms, LVP throughout the home2024 – Added hurricane impact windows & new color options2025 – Adding Ceiling FansGotta be open to feedback and adjust accordinglyThis can be the difference of your home sitting on the market for 4 months vs 1 month where's the modifications and pictures?

Then house hack a 4 plex to start I am sure you can get into one of those in that market which is lower priced than 90% of the US.  

Youtube also has a lot of wholesaling videos with examples of contracts, marketing etc.

It's not RTR's fault the property can't absorb proper cap ex, that's a product of the market.
