The bird dog/wholesaler would either assign the contract to you or do a double close as stated above.

The average wholesale property near them can be purchased 70% to 75% below market value from as little as $25K FSBO(of course an investor is going to want a nice amount more even for a shell).

I don't think whole sale/flipping would suit me well.

Im a budding wholesale investor in Philadelphia,PA.

I'm am looking to wholesale properties that are in the pre-foreclosure and that are just about a month away from being sold at the Sheriff's auction.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I am a beginner Investor and I am looking to start as a Wholesaler.

Numbers arent right for a wholesale deal if it was in my area but yours might be different.

That is how I am able to wholesale REO's and Short Sales.

I think what he MAY be asking is what is a typical wholesale fee?

I use REO specialists, RE Brokers, bird dogs, wholesalers and sometimes just comb a few neighborhoods myself looking for potentials.
