Adam Macias Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

Don Konipol The Most DANGEROUS Real Estate Investments for the “Amateur” Investor

They do have to step in and pay on the underlying note while they foreclose on the wrap this to protect their credit and theoretically project their equity The issue with all this sub to and wrap stuff is under capitalized investors or investors that dont know enough or investors that have a no morals and just look at these like if it works great I have little money into this no real equity and I am not on the loan so if it does not work I will just walk off .. or really bad actors that get into title rip rents and never pay the underlying I have seen that more times than you can imagine. this sub to  wrap stuff is just super dangerous and I dont care who is training people on it there are just to many things that can go wrong when your sub to deals or wrap deals are with owner occs and their mortgages.. seller carry backs like we did worked fine and the deals were smaller in those days.
