Wholesaling seems to fall in a legal grey area, and with the number of guru-influenced wholesalers out there at the moment who are swindling people and marketing properties in manner which likely violates state laws I wonder if it is only a matter of time before wholesaling comes crashing down in most states.I read in a book titled Secrets of buying and selling real estate -- without using your own money by Robert Shemin that one lesser used method for wholesaling besides double closing or assignment of contract is to secure an irrevocable option to purchase a property.

Allen L. Cash flow is still king, convince me otherwise
19 September 2022 | 7 replies
I live in a so called "cashflow market" (Milwaukee) and have always made a lot more on equity than on cash flow, even before the last 3 years.But I also know investors who have grown and managed a portfolio "city cash flow properties" for decades and have almost nothing to show for - because capex exceeded cash flow.High appreciation markets are also risky to invest - while I feel very strongly about that market not going to crash as a whole, I am not so sure if markets like TX will not come under pressure after the exuberant gains of the last years.The Midwest is the only region left with an affordability index over 100 (median family can afford a median home), so just like communicating vessels in physics we may see a market rebalancing, where remote workers will move to where living expenses are affordable (not only housing) and boom markets will see an adjustment (not a crash).And even if you are an apartment syndicator, you need cash flow to boost NOI - there is just no way around it.

Engelo Rumora Why You Shouldn't Leverage When Investing In Turnkey Rentals
24 September 2018 | 82 replies
I know there are arguments to both sides of every coin but with the whole Morris invest debacle (who only accepted cash buys) it’s gonna be hard to override my opinion on this, especially if you’re dealing in sub 50k purchases Thanks for your comment.Over the years I've gained a tonne of insight into how companies operate and it's not what you think.To this day, I don't know of many turnkey companies that are offering finance on their deals where investors still don't over pay for the property.The biggest and the best in the industry control the entire finance process and know tricks on how to influence appraisals.Like selling for cash at higher than market value and "booking" in the sale on the MLS.The hundreds of cash comps are then used to pull up the value when someone is looking to finance.They single handedly over inflate the value in an area by doing this.I don't even want to start on how they also exclusively use local community banks that will "dance to their beat" as they get millions in new loans every month.Finding the right team and working with the right people is the key to success in turnkey.If you think an appraiser or building inspector are protecting your best interests than you are wrong in my opinion.Spend the time in finding the right people/company and you will do well.DON'T INVEST until you find the right people no matter how long it takes.Much success
