Discovery: I found this property through a local wholesaler specializing in off-market deals.

The wholesaler had no idea.

The most important thing for you to learn as a wholesaler is repair costs.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

That to me is true wholesale.. buy it and actually own it and then resell.

I am wanting to make sure I will be working with a title company that is familiar with wholesale assignment contracts, seller financing, lease with an option to purchase and possibly sandwich leasees with an option to purchase.

You don't need a lot of money to wholesale.

JamesI work with the loan programs through wholesale lenders so you wouldn't be able to go direct unless they have a retail side.

Many investors use wholesalers or real estate agents who specialize in investment properties, or they directly target owners with distressed properties.5.
