Today I want to talk about a great lesson that I learned as I had more experience under my belt.It is the power of not having a wholesale every property that comes through my funnel.When I got started in this business, I only had one exit strategy...Assigning.I love this assignment strategy and I still do this a ton today.However, after accumulating some experience and capital, I can now say that having more than one tool in the toolbox is extremely beneficial especially in competitive situations.Here are three tips on why it makes sense to not wholesale every property.Tip #1 YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEYMost of the time, you are going to make more money if you close on the property.
