Thirty percent of micro-wholesaler network deals I have seen underwritten had the disposition fee disclosed to the seller, and none of them closed.
That number keeps coming up when I look at these structures carefully, and it points at something the fee conversation usually skips: sellers who later learn the assignment fee existed are the single largest source of contract rescission in wholesaler groups, and the risk lands on whoever signed the purchase agreement. In a micro-network, that is usually the member who sourced the deal, not the member who found the buyer. The person with the most seller exposure often has the least control over how the disposition side gets handled or communicated. A three-person network where one person finds deals, one person runs the buyer list, and one person closes the paperwork looks clean on paper, but the sourcing member is carrying rescission risk for decisions two other people make downstream. What does your network actually have in writing about who holds liability if a seller rescinds after learning the fee?
