Andre Vaughn What Are the MAIN PROBLEMS with Wholesalers?
29 July 2014 | 62 replies
@Andre Vaughn My advice is think from the perspective of the investor a few months down the road when he is selling the house after repairs are done, his end buyers will go the a bank for finance, the bank will lend the money based in the market value determined by an appraiser, the appraiser will look for RECENT sales of SIMILAR properties located CLOSE BY Many wholesalers sent you comps from houses located a mile away when there has been cheaper sales in the same block or cheaper sales earlier in time, or compare with bigger or newer houses or with luxury renovationsTypically a bank will like comparables of similar properties in a quarter mile radius in the last 3 to 6 months (they adjust it depending on the neighborhood and the property but in general this protects the bank from mistakes) Your investor typically want to rehab and resell quickly (to avoid hard money interests and other expenses), so he will not price it at the top possible price in the area because he wants it to be attractive to possible buyers and realtors.
