This would leave about $200/month rental spread.$30k would do amazing things for a small house.

You can also use transactional funding if there is enough spread in the deal.Don't get too discouraged though. 

Hi All,In my voracious quest to start and spread my marketing, I had a question for all of you wholesalers out there.I'm thinking on top of direct mail, bandit signs, etc. it would be a good idea to start leaving business cards and flyers anyplace I can. 

The smallest equity spread there ($15k) is a fast track to negative recovery.

I am not spreading doubt and fear.

Does the wholesaler pay a certain amount down to lock in the deal then the buyer pays and wholesaler takes the spread?

  Hey everyone, let me throw this out to see if anyone has any suggestions:  I am a flipper and things are going okay, only the spreads are thinner than desired because all my deals come through the MLS.  

You can spread the costs out over a long period of time, but it's difficult to turn a struggling property with high vacancy around without a complete, up-front overhaul.

As you can see, the space is not high-luxury, but still features wood floors and a new kitchen with granite slabs. it's the sheer size of the space that seems to be the key draw - 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms spread out across 3 floors. 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, 1 on the main floor and 2 bedrooms on the top floor.  

They don't need as big a spread as an investor and may be buying strictly on emotion.
