Their retort of course always is you can fix things over time but that minimizes and doesn't resolve that the expenses will be higher so if they are motivated I work them down on price for my clients and if not we move on to something else.

Hello Everyone,New here and am trying to understand the motives of a wholesaler.

Any help, advice, motivation, and inspiration would be great.

Motivated ROOKIE here, eager to learn; looking forward to the journey, thanks!

@Dev Horn says the secret, if you can call it that, is knowledge and motivation.

So I feel that the occupancy will remain fairly high.

One is close to where I work (about 25 mins from where I live) that's built in 1969, 3bed/2bath, half brick half wood, huge 11k sqft back yard, older but safe neighborhood currently on rehab from a guy who bought it from the owner and a agreed to pay remaining taxes on the house.

Lead will still likely remain throughout the property.

FYI - I recently posted this in another thread - might help you get your head around what it takes to start a wholesaling business ~What you need to get started is:1) A process2) A teamKnow exactly how your process will work:a) Meeting cash buyers & understanding their needsb) Finding motivated sellersc) Evaluating propertiesd) Calculating offerse) Testing the water with your buyer(s) if necessaryf) Negotiationg) Closing via a contract/agreementh) Assignment to a cash buyer via another contract/agreementi) Receiving payment at closingFor your team, you'll need to know:a) Cash buyers, of courseb) Real estate agent(s) or broker(s) - provide comps, MLS opportunities, etc.Perhaps also,c) Title company (good to have but more important for cash buyers; but you may want one to hold earnest money in escrow)d) Attorney (required in some states)Best of luck!

Say I get a lead from a motivated seller.
