Corey, you don't have to tell them you're wholesaling it..if you do, more often than not, it'll lead to the seller changing his mind..think about it-if you were selling your house to someone and he/she said "i'm gonna wholesale it"-you then have to explain the concept to them which will leave them skeptical.I've already answered your questions on contracts and earnest money...As far as ARV is concerned, ths=is comes from learning the prices in your particula area for single family homes to residential multiplexes..You should aim for 70% of ARV as opposed to 50%-most end buyers won't touch it for 50% or less-take it from me.

When making offers what is your rule of thumb with stucco as opposed to brick?

We need opposing views.

Originally posted by Chris Trook:Wholesaling is - buying and recasting a property for 70% or less of ARV.It seems as though "or less" has been overlooked a few times.And, I'm not sure what you mean, Ryan, about it not being the proper way to assess an investor price.Maybe some of you are missing the point, and that is, if a wholesaler brings an investor a deal that has, at least, 30% equity after having accounted for repairs, then would that be a good deal, as opposed to, a deal that is marked up well above ARV and calling it a wholesale deal?

I've been thinking of maybe improving the grading on the exterior of the house (which is currently flat and flush with the rest of the yard) and laying down an inorganic subfloor and tiling and/or carpeting over it.

I have an iphone and it annoys the crap out of me if I have to call a vanity number because I can't dial from my phone.Overall, I think I've had better results with the advertising using a regular local number as opposed to using a vanity number.

I made both appraisals and did not have to show receipts, but did have to write a letter specifically explaining the work done and improvements made to justify the increase.I had a contract that was agreeable to both me and my buyers and they decided that they wanted me to leave the exterior turf carpet in teh garage (not glued down).
