Our main development at the moment is called Pacific Palm, however a project that is in our pipeline is Blue Island.

so in order to wholesale properties i was thinking of marketing something along the lines of distinguishing the differences between realtors (who market 100's of properties) and a smaller wholesaler (who focuses on 1, 2, or 3 houses at a time).i see the main differences being:1. a wholesaler pays alot more close attention to moving the property.2. the seller receives earnest money 3. the wholesaler, if they're good, have buyers, financing and marketing all set up ahead of time4. the wholesaler doesn't charge a % commission.5. the wholesaler works to SELL in 30 days or 45 days at the most.i know that alot of talk is going around about how a wholesalers assignment fee is like a realtors commission - but i mean, that's just downright ridiculous.a wholesaler signs a CONTRACT TO BUY...whereas the realtor signs listing agreement.

If I were you, I would half my expectations/intentions---portfolio value of 500K + 95% Financing would leave you with 25K of reserves...Regards,Scott Miller

The main component in any wholesale flip is price.

I have been a licensed agent for just over a year and have closed nearly $10M in business in the past 12 months - focusing my efforts mainly on finding great deals for local investors.

Hey everybody,My name's Steve, I'm a 20 year old college student from Philadelphia, full time, and for the past year or so I've been reading stuff on real estate investing, mainly buy and hold material.

If I wasn't wholesaling, I would just be passing up those deals.And the main reason I wholesale is . . .

My main question is is there a book or something I can get to help me understand how to get started without alot of money.

I've done it before with Letters Of Intents.

I would recommend finding a newbie realtor that is hungry (literally) and have them make 50 offers a week with Letters Of Intent.
