Purchase price: $3,500 Cash invested: $35,000 Bought at a sheriffs auction for very cheap invested $35,000 into it after finish rehab either going to heloc, or just plain refi.

how does eliminating the commission help the seller.. the wholesaler needs to deduct resale commissions for his buyer plus his fee so this is why sellers get LESS money by far on the wholesale route.. plus wholesalers are going to march buyers through the house just like a realtor would and wholesalers don't close quicker than 30 days either.. the only thing would be maybe they have cash buyers.. that's it.unless its a hoarder house or wont pass a lending inspections.. no way wholesale is a benefit to a seller that knows market.I always chuckle how the wholesalers hammer on no commissions I guess these sellers are really uneducated to plain dumb..

However, Roxbury, Dorchester and parts of Jamaica Plain are excellent areas to buy in now if you want to rehab.

Could be a new agent who doesn't know any better, could just be an odd thing that the particular agent likes to do, could be that the seller wanted it mentioned specifically in the listing, could be that the agent was sick of getting dumb questions from owner occupied buyers who don't know any better....Who knows.
