This keeps coming up and the room is going to split. Situation I'm in. One acquisition-focused wholesaler does 6 to 9 contracts a month and wants me on an exclusive: I move only h…

Coming from renovation work where I can point at a wall I built, this model confuses me. I've been reading about wholesalers who only do dispo, and as far as I can tell they don't…
From the desk:
Been doing rehab work for years so my phone is full of people who buy houses that need work. Actual buyers, people who have paid me to swing hammers on their projects. A wholesale…

I want the boring thing that works, so I've been reading about this model and I keep hitting the same doubt. A dispo-only operator doesn't find the property, doesn't contract the…
Discussion
Long holds and land are my normal territory, so this is me reading into something adjacent rather than operating in it. A dispo arrangement was described to me where the operator…

Spent seven months building what I thought was a real disposition operation. 214 names in the CRM, 61 of them tagged as verified, which for me meant proof of funds seen in the las…
Discussion
I spent a weekend trying to verify a 60-name buyer list a dispo operator sent me as part of his pitch for capital, and the exercise mostly taught me how weak the standard evidence…
Discussion
A wholesaler I know from a land deal sent me a single family contract last week and asked if I could find the buyer. He sent 22 photos, a walkthrough video, and his repair number.…

I mostly do long holds and land, so this was outside my lane and it shows. I ended up with two contracts I didn't want. Infill lots, one 1.1 acre and one 0.6, in a growing small c…
Discussion
I've been trying to work out where to put my time on the dispo side and the two answers point opposite directions. The relationship answer: the asset is 30 buyers who pick up on t…
From the desk:
Someone sent me their standard JV agreement for a dispo split and asked what I thought. I don't do these deals, I just read paperwork, and one clause is doing something odd. The s…
Discussion
A few deals in on the acquisition side and I've hit a wall where I can find contracts and then sit on them for two weeks. So I've been looking at the other direction, whether I co…
Discussion
Trying to sort out vocabulary before I embarrass myself on a call. I've seen the same thing called a buyer list, a dispo network, a deal marketplace and a platform, and I honestly…

Ran dispo for a wholesaler on a 3/2 in a working class suburb, contract at 148k, comps supporting 215k, moderate rehab. Fee to be split was 14k, my half 7k. Best deal I'd touched.…

I'm building the dispo side of a small service business and I've got 60 names in a spreadsheet, of which maybe seven have actually closed something in the last year. A contract la…

Had a deal last month, small three bed in a working class pocket, contract at 92, comps supporting somewhere in the 150s with real work. I put it out at a fixed 104 and it was gon…
Discussion
I'm mostly on the rental and screening side, so treat me as an outsider here, but I've been helping someone sort a dispo buyer list and the numbers are strange enough that I want…
From the desk:
Trying to price out a start and the dispo model keeps coming up as the cheap entry because you're not buying anything and not paying for marketing to find sellers. My count so far…
Discussion
A wholesaler I've been talking to wants me to move a contract with a spread somewhere around $40k. He's used to 50/50 co-wholesale splits and told me that's just the standard numb…
Discussion
I have a small rental portfolio and I've been poking at the dispo side because it looks like the part of wholesaling that doesn't require me to cold call anyone. Everything I read…
