Shari,What I meant was for the investor client to make less on the spread or if the profit was totally taken up with 90 day funding costs, then look at an A to C sale where the A seller at least gets their short sale and C buyer gets their property.

The Mortgage Professor also has wholesale rates on his homepage so you can gauge a rough yield spread premium for you loan.

It seems they like to make money year round and are more interested in the spread than the calendar.At any rate, don't quit your day job just yet.

Websites, social media domination, google etc.

I am reluctant to take her price because my spread is not that big ..

It's a term that the media started throwing around in the last couple years.

The spread between those 2 used to not be huge, but in this market it can be very large.A Realtor is always going to tell you he will sell at Retail and the HML knows that if he has to take the property back, it will be "distressed" and he will be selling wholesale.

Don't allow long contingency periods, make that EMD go hard as fast as possible which requires your team, escrow and your agents to stay on top of the buyer's scheduling of inspections, appraisals, etc.Time is definately your enemy so taking a smaller margin with a quicker exit and easier sale could be a better deal than a longer rehab with a larger spread and a harder sale.

Right now, most calls off my bandit signs are not good investor deals, no spread or equity, not enough motivation.

Under 20 units, it's a tiring low income, high demand grind, especially if they're spread all over the county or several counties.If anyone out there has real first hand experience flipping a single REO themselves, without performing significant repair, and making a descent profit spread, please post, I would love to hear the details.
