Sitting on a decision and I want the room to argue about it because I keep flipping. A buy and hold outfit that picks up maybe four a month in my area told me they will take every…

The paperwork nobody reads is where this turned up. A buyer who takes roughly two houses a month wants me sourcing only for them in three zips, in exchange for first look on every…

I've been doing tile and some light plumbing for a guy who flips maybe six houses a year in my area. Last week on a walkthrough he said, half joking, if you find me another one li…

I do service work, so I'm walking through houses all week, and the idea of finding deals for the investors I already know seemed obvious. I asked nine of them if they'd buy a disc…

Trades background here, I've been on job sites for years and I'm looking at the paper side of it now. A guy at a supply house told me reverse wholesaling is the way in because you…

I have a buyer who flips maybe eight houses a year and he agreed to a call on Thursday. The plan is to ask what he buys, write it down, and go look for it. Standard reverse order…
Discussion
A few deals in. What's happening is I bring things to buyers and they say close but no, and I burn my due diligence period finding out. My notes on each buyer say things like "SFH…
From the desk:
I have a buyer lined up before I have a property, which was the whole point, and I've been drafting the paper in advance so I'm not doing it under time pressure. Buyer is a small…

I'm most of the way through the licensing process and I've realized I never decided what happens to the reverse wholesaling side afterward. The case for keeping it as an assignmen…
Discussion
Working out what the first deal actually costs and I realized I don't understand how I get paid. If I assign my contract for $5,000, does the buyer write me a check when we sign t…

Locked a 3/2 at 148k against a written buy box from a buyer who closed nine houses last year. He passed on day nine because his lender wouldn't fund a fifth concurrent project. I…

I fund deals rather than do them, and I want to understand this model from the buyer's chair before I ever write a check to someone running it. A wholesaler I've been talking to h…

I don't move fast on anything, so I did this in the order that felt safest. I asked one buyer what he wanted before I looked at a single house. He's a local guy with maybe 30 rent…
Discussion
My first rental is coming and I'm reading everything, and I keep circling back to reverse wholesaling because it looks like the version with no down payment. Which makes me suspic…
From the desk:
I've been reading land for months without buying anything, and in the process I got to know a guy who assembles recreational acreage. He buys four or five parcels a year, all cash…

I don't like doing anything without paper, so before I looked at a single house I sat down with a buyer who owns maybe fourteen rentals in older working class blocks and made him…

Two operators told me two opposite things this month and I can't decide which one is right. The first funds every deposit himself, usually small, and says it keeps the file clean.…

Most of my work sits on the capital side, so I read about reverse wholesaling from the other direction and I'm confused about the first step. Everyone says get the buyer first. Bu…

Five weeks of calling instead of pulling lists. I pulled cash deeds from the county recorder going back 18 months, flagged anyone who bought twice, got 41 names, reached 11 humans…

Building my buyer list before I chase anything. I'm at eleven investors, mostly from two meetups and a couple of cash sales I found at the county recorder. Everywhere I look someo…
