You're listening to the flip houses like a girl podcast where we educate, empower, and celebrate everyday women who are facing their fears, juggling family and business, embracing their awesomeness and wholeheartedly chasing their dream of flipping houses.
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:27.839
Each episode delivers honest to goodness tools, tips and strategies you can implement today to get closer to your first or next successful house flip.
00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:34.289
Here's your spiky-haired breakfast taco loving host house flipping coach, Debbie DeBerry.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.560
Hey you guys, what's going on today?
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.439
I hope that whatever you're up to, it's an easy day and it's fun and enjoyable.
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:52.960
Uh, here in Austin today, it's cold and dreary and wet.
00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:57.250
And honestly I'm digging it.
00:00:57.549 --> 00:00:59.350
It's nice to have a change of seats in.
00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:09.700
It's been hot and humid for months and every summer I ask myself how I can even do it again.
00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:12.760
So I don't know.
00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:28.390
I've got visions of a cooler climate in my life on a more regular basis, maybe in about a decade when my son's out of school, but until then, it's hot, humid summer days in Austin.
00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:32.620
All right, so what's been going on in my world?
00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:40.750
Well, this is the week of Halloween, meaning it's my son's most favorite time of year.
00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:41.530
Yup.
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.019
Halloween even beats out Christmas.
00:01:44.469 --> 00:02:05.560
This kid has always loved to wear costumes and in fact for probably a solid two to two and a half years of his life from about 18 months to three and a half or four when he started actually going to a pre K.
00:02:05.769 --> 00:02:15.879
so when he was in preschool, he would went to what I call a hippie preschool, which basically they're just barefoot all day and running around outside, which I loved.
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.280
And he wore a costume pretty much every day of his life.
00:02:21.281 --> 00:02:29.530
He wore a costume, iron man, Spiderman, captain America, pirate, you name it.
00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:42.340
The kid was in a costume and I always marveled at him because he got so much attention from it and he handled the attention really well.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:57.580
And it always, it always kind of took me aback because a lot of adults, you know, we get older and we don't really want the attention on ourselves anymore and we don't handle attention very well.
00:02:57.789 --> 00:03:03.250
You know, we deflect, somebody pays us a compliment and we shrug it off.
00:03:03.610 --> 00:03:04.599
We deflect it.
00:03:05.590 --> 00:03:08.560
And as kids we didn't do that.
00:03:08.949 --> 00:03:16.509
And so I used to love watching my son accept compliments from people and just, yeah, matter of fact like, yeah, thanks.
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.259
I'm glad you liked my costume or your yeah, it is a cool costume.
00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:20.860
You're right.
00:03:21.550 --> 00:03:23.560
And as adults we just don't do that.
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:25.030
Anyway.
00:03:26.169 --> 00:03:39.129
Anyway, Halloween is his favorite holiday and he is dressing up in a kind of a little group theme with his best friend and his best friend's sister.
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:52.180
So they are all doing a doctor who theme, which frankly isn't really interesting to my son but he's just doing it because he gets to dress up and he gets to dress up with his best friend.
00:03:52.509 --> 00:03:54.520
So he is super happy and excited.
00:03:54.550 --> 00:04:01.090
So I hope you guys have some fun Halloween plans and enjoy some family time.
00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:11.990
So additionally we are pretty much at the end or really close to the end of our follow that flipped project.
00:04:12.710 --> 00:04:22.339
So we are starting our fifth full week of renovation work and finishing out the space.
00:04:22.341 --> 00:04:29.449
So they are working on painting the exterior, well not today because of the weather, but they were working on it yesterday.
00:04:29.449 --> 00:04:38.000
So hopefully today and tomorrow while it's raining, they're going to be on the inside working on punch list items, which I know is their least favorite.
00:04:38.060 --> 00:04:46.279
But for me I think they're the most important because I see the details and I know other people see the details.
00:04:46.281 --> 00:04:55.459
Maybe not to the extent that I do on my own project, but I know if something's missing or if something's not done right and it just doesn't feel good.
00:04:55.490 --> 00:04:57.589
So hopefully they're working on that today.
00:04:59.129 --> 00:05:05.480
Alright, before we get into today's episode, I want to read a listener's review.
00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:10.160
Thank you so much you guys for leaving these ratings and reviews.
00:05:10.161 --> 00:05:14.029
It really makes this whole thing totally worth it.
00:05:14.031 --> 00:05:21.139
It makes, it means to me that I'm actually maybe making a tiny difference and that's awesome.
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.699
So I hope to have a bigger impact and you can help me do so.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.879
Either you are getting value out of these podcasts.
00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:31.699
If you would please leave a rating and a review.
00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:47.810
It really does help me reach more likeminded women like you, and if I can instill in one more person that they absolutely can flip houses for a living and have an incredible life and so much fun doing it.
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.269
That's the dream.
00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:51.319
Okay.
00:05:51.819 --> 00:05:52.189
All right.
00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:56.750
This review is from cat stacks two to three.
00:05:57.449 --> 00:05:59.670
The title of it is super inspiring.
00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:09.480
As I was driving back from Louisiana to Texas, I decided about looking into where to get started flipping houses and came across Debbie's podcast.
00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:11.250
Five episodes later.
00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.069
I'm on the ball with her first five steps.
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.480
She's super motivating and I hope to go to one of her events soon in Austin.
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:19.649
Great podcast.
00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:22.620
Yes, please come to one of our events.
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:26.910
So I just started hosting a monthly meetup in Austin.
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.300
Let's see, November will be our second one.
00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:33.269
So earlier in October was our first meetup.
00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:35.279
It's all about flipping houses.
00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:39.779
There are lots of groups that meet about real estate investing in general.
00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:44.040
We are talking all about flipping houses.
00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:48.329
Every single monthly meeting is exactly that.
00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:50.040
All about flipping houses.
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:50.459
All right.
00:06:50.461 --> 00:06:54.300
So I hope that you get to come to one of our meetings too.
00:06:54.629 --> 00:06:55.529
That'd be awesome.
00:06:55.709 --> 00:07:00.480
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave that review.
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.910
It means so much to me.
00:07:03.209 --> 00:07:03.839
I'm grateful.
00:07:03.870 --> 00:07:04.470
Thank you.
00:07:06.149 --> 00:07:11.129
Alright, so today's episode is all about wholesalers.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.139
It's come up a few times in our Facebook group recently.
00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:21.360
So I thought that would be the perfect topic for this week's episode.
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.139
So we're going to talk about it.
00:07:24.141 --> 00:07:30.949
What exactly a wholesaler is, what they do, how you find them, how you work with them and so on.
00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:31.639
Okay.
00:07:31.641 --> 00:07:38.240
So what a wholesaler is, is basically they tie up a property, okay.
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:58.560
They put a property under contract and then they either assign that contract to somebody else who actually is going to close on the deal and do the renovation work or they do a double closing and I'll tell you what the differences are.
00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:05.430
So they will either do what's called a double closing or an assignment.
00:08:05.850 --> 00:08:06.449
Okay.
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:17.850
If they do an assignment, you will know what they are paying for the house because basically what they're doing is they have a contract with the property owner.
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:32.309
They have a contract to purchase the house with the, with the property owner and then with you or whoever the end investor is, they will have an assignment document.
00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:32.850
Okay.
00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:48.600
So that assignment will say for a fee of whatever,$5,000 they are assigning their rights in the contract with the property seller over to you.
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.450
So they're assigning the contract to you.
00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:59.500
So everything that they've agreed to in the contract you are taking on as the end purchaser.
00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:11.710
So you absolutely must see their contract with the property owner because you are going to be the one responsible for fulfilling all of the promises in that contract.
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:12.399
Okay.
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:17.289
So you don't just want to know the sales price, you got to know all of the details.
00:09:17.649 --> 00:09:17.980
Okay.
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:20.379
So that is an assignment.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:27.200
They have the property under contract, they assign that contract over to you.
00:09:27.409 --> 00:09:30.289
They're out of the picture, they get paid at closing.
00:09:30.291 --> 00:09:44.450
So when you go fund or when you go sign the closing documents and the transaction gets funded, the title company then cuts a check to that wholesaler.
00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:45.440
Okay.
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:53.240
The second way to do it is by using a double closing.
00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:59.870
So what that means is they have a contract with the property owner.
00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:01.039
Okay?
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:12.879
Just like before they have a contract with the property owner, they also then, if you are the end investor, they also have a separate contract with you.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:22.870
So in the contract with the property owner, they're the buyer in the contract with you, they are the seller.
00:10:24.009 --> 00:10:25.929
So there are two contracts.
00:10:26.110 --> 00:10:37.899
So you never really know what they've paid for the property because that contract is not, you are not privy to any of the information in that contract because you're not a part of that contract.
00:10:38.590 --> 00:10:41.919
You are only a part of the contract with them.
00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:43.809
So you're the buyer, they're the seller.
00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:44.529
All right?
00:10:45.490 --> 00:10:48.610
Most wholesalers operate this way.
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.950
Most do double closings.
00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:54.580
Now, not every title company will do these.
00:10:55.269 --> 00:11:01.419
So you usually have to use whichever title company the wholesaler dictates.
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:21.039
So what will happen is on the same day, the wholesaler will close on their purchase contract with the seller and they will close on their sale contract with you that same day.
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.409
All right, so it's a double closing.
00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:26.289
There's really no difference to you.
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.570
The only difference is you don't know what the wholesaler is paying.
00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:37.960
Whereas with the assignment you do because you're taking over the contract, doesn't matter if the numbers make sense.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:39.970
It doesn't matter what they're paying.
00:11:40.539 --> 00:11:47.490
Okay, so what's the benefit in working with a wholesaler?
00:11:49.639 --> 00:12:00.190
If they are big players, that means they are spending dollars and if they are spending big marketing dollars, they are generating more leads.
00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:06.190
If they're generating more leads, you have the potential to get more deals.
00:12:06.610 --> 00:12:07.210
Okay.
00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:12.879
Many people use wholesalers because they don't want to do that piece.
00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:15.789
They don't want to do the lead generation.
00:12:15.791 --> 00:12:17.830
They don't want to spend marketing dollars.
00:12:17.831 --> 00:12:22.480
They don't want to then qualify the seller.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:27.610
They don't want to then go meet the seller and walk the property.
00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:35.769
They don't want to then try to determine a price to offer the seller.
00:12:35.950 --> 00:12:39.700
They don't want to do all of that negotiating with the seller.
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.110
Really.
00:12:42.009 --> 00:12:48.159
They just want a deal and they're happy to pay the wholesaler whatever it is they're making.
00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:49.899
If the numbers make sense.
00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:53.470
Personally, I love working with wholesalers.
00:12:53.889 --> 00:13:05.440
I am happy to let them go do that piece because frankly I don't want to, that's not how I want to be spending my time, which is why my business doesn't focus on wholesaling properties.
00:13:06.070 --> 00:13:12.490
Now, that said, I absolutely use wholesaling as an alternative exit strategy.
00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:25.450
If I come across a deal that I do put under contract and I don't necessarily want to do the project, maybe my, maybe I'm spread out already, maybe I'm, I've got too many projects going on.
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:30.070
Maybe it's in an area of town, I'd really don't focus in and I don't really want to flip in that area.
00:13:30.370 --> 00:13:38.980
Whatever it is, I'll put a property under contract and then assign it to someone else and make a few grand, but it's definitely not my focus.
00:13:39.370 --> 00:13:39.740
It does.
00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:41.950
It doesn't bring me joy.
00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:53.289
What brings me joy is loving the heck out of these houses that are in disrepair or just need to be refreshed.
00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:54.639
That's my joy.
00:13:55.269 --> 00:14:00.669
I don't want to spend my time going in meeting with you know, 20 sellers a week.
00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:02.980
It's just not what makes me happy.
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.149
So, and guess what, I'm a grown up and I get to choose what I focus on.
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.289
So I'm happy to work with wholesalers.
00:14:12.070 --> 00:14:14.769
It's honestly how I get the majority of my deals.
00:14:14.770 --> 00:14:21.850
If I don't get it straight from the seller, then I'm using wholesalers and so with the numbers make sense.
00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:22.659
Great.
00:14:22.779 --> 00:14:28.120
I'm all in that said, there are some things to watch for.
00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:28.720
Okay.
00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:49.450
Because when a wholesaler sends out a deal, it is not uncommon to see that they have undercut the repairs needed, meaning the house actually needs 60 grand worth of work and they've stated 40 grand.
00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:50.500
Okay.
00:14:52.129 --> 00:15:02.750
On top of that, it is not uncommon for them to inflate the ARV or the after repair value, what the house will be worth once it's renovated.
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:09.049
So their repair estimate is low and their projected ARV is high.
00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:14.570
So you just have to watch those things in how, how do you know that those things are off?
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:34.519
Well, first of all, you've got to be practicing coming up with repair estimates or you better be walking properties and you better be walking properties with the contractor that you're going to potentially use, which is why one of the first five steps is lining up contractors.
00:15:34.669 --> 00:15:38.059
Guys, there's a reason there is a method to my madness.
00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:41.210
I'm not just randomly throwing things out there.
00:15:42.409 --> 00:15:45.889
You've got to be walking properties with contractors.
00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:49.370
Otherwise you're just guessing at what the repairs are going to be.
00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:53.210
If you have experience estimating repairs, that's a different story.
00:15:53.419 --> 00:16:05.159
But if you are brand new, have no experience estimating repairs, you better be walking properties with your contractor because that is one way that a lot of investors get burned.
00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:07.350
They're way off on their repair estimate.
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.679
They're just guesstimating and that's not good for anyone.
00:16:12.690 --> 00:16:15.659
Now with the ARV, how are you going to know if that's off?
00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:26.279
Well, because if you followed my niching down instructions, you are focusing on very specific areas in your city.
00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:34.470
So you know the a RVs or you can very quickly pull comps and get those values.
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:44.309
And remember when you're coming up with these after repair values, you've got to be comparing apples to apples, okay?
00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:48.899
Because comparing apples to bananas isn't going to get you what you want.
00:16:50.070 --> 00:16:55.440
It might give you an inflated number that sounds really good, but that's not going to end well.
00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:57.899
All right, so always compare apples to apples.
00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.429
Okay?
00:16:59.431 --> 00:17:10.140
So those are two things to watch when dealing with wholesalers, when looking at their deals, watch the repair estimate and watch their ARV estimate.
00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:10.799
Okay.
00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:14.150
So how do you find wholesalers?
00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:16.279
Well, it's actually pretty easy.
00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:18.289
So you can Google.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:40.220
Honestly, you can ask the Google for wholesalers in your city, comma state, you can, if you haven't already, join local Facebook real estate investing groups because they are great for finding wholesalers, contractors and lenders.
00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:41.240
Okay?
00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:43.339
They're great resources for things like that.
00:17:43.340 --> 00:17:45.079
And you can use the search function.
00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:48.500
You don't have to go in there and post a million questions.
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:53.940
I promise you those three big ones have all been answered lots of times.
00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:58.839
So just utilize the search function in that Facebook group.
00:17:58.990 --> 00:17:59.440
Okay?
00:18:00.630 --> 00:18:00.630
Huh?
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.309
All right.
00:18:01.310 --> 00:18:03.430
Then what do you do once you get some wholesalers?
00:18:03.431 --> 00:18:05.089
So you're going to reach out to them.
00:18:06.410 --> 00:18:08.150
This is a relationship business.
00:18:08.151 --> 00:18:11.869
You've got to build relationships, so you're going to reach out to them.
00:18:12.109 --> 00:18:21.500
You're going to hopefully meet them in person, see what they're about, see if you mesh with them and then tell them what you're looking for.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.000
Tell them about your goals.
00:18:23.210 --> 00:18:25.069
Let them know how serious you are.
00:18:25.309 --> 00:18:25.880
Okay.
00:18:26.269 --> 00:18:28.789
And then continue to build that relationship.
00:18:29.150 --> 00:18:36.319
It will pay off even if it just means one deal a year that you get privy to before everyone else.
00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:38.240
That's another way.
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:44.420
I don't know what your, whatever profit you make, 25 to 70 grand, I don't know what your profit is.
00:18:45.109 --> 00:18:50.359
It's an additional chunk of money that you wouldn't have had had you not built that relationship.
00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:56.240
This business is all about relationships.
00:18:56.269 --> 00:19:00.079
Okay, so build this one too.
00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:04.880
Also, there are certain questions that you want to ask them and guess what?
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:10.190
I am actually sharing those with you, so check the show notes in.
00:19:10.210 --> 00:19:28.190
I am sharing my recommended questions that you've got to be asking wholesalers as you are vetting them, making sure they are a fit for you is just as important, if not more so than them making sure you're a fit for them.
00:19:29.269 --> 00:19:29.269
[inaudible]
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.589
so take control of the conversation.
00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:39.539
My students have had really great compliments after using these questions with wholesalers.
00:19:39.769 --> 00:19:41.819
They're like, wow, you really came prepared.
00:19:42.329 --> 00:19:44.730
People usually don't ask these kinds of questions.
00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:57.619
So if you're listening to this on my website or check the show notes, if you're listening from a podcast provider and you'll see a link to my questions to ask wholesalers.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.660
Okay, so those are the big things about wholesalers.
00:20:02.809 --> 00:20:04.039
They aren't scary.
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:13.220
They help you find deals, they help you make money, but you've got to build those relationships.
00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:18.650
And obviously, I mean this really goes without saying, I hope, but treat them with respect.
00:20:19.369 --> 00:20:19.849
Okay.
00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:23.660
I also wanted to talk about how their showings work.
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:30.049
So let's say a wholesaler, okay, so let's say they have a deal, right?
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:35.029
What they then do is they will email their list and let everybody know.
00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:38.480
Now one of two things can happen.
00:20:38.750 --> 00:20:46.250
So if the, usually if the property is vacant, it will be a first come first served deal.
00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:58.359
So if you want the deal, you better get out there really fast and give them their deposit, which usually they require anywhere from five to$10,000 down.
00:20:58.809 --> 00:21:12.069
And that's typically nonrefundable, which is another reason why you've got to be walking these properties with contractors so that you can know wholeheartedly that your estimate is right.
00:21:12.450 --> 00:21:12.910
All right.
00:21:12.911 --> 00:21:15.519
And that you can actually move forward on the deal.
00:21:16.690 --> 00:21:19.930
So they release the property.
00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:22.750
If it's vacant, it's typically first come, first serve.
00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:27.430
If it's not vacant, then they'll have a showing time.
00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:31.569
So they might release a property and say, here's our new property.
00:21:31.570 --> 00:21:34.299
We have a showing at noon today.
00:21:34.869 --> 00:21:35.289
Okay.
00:21:35.290 --> 00:21:43.059
And so that quickly you've gotta be able to a determine whether or not it's, it behooves you to go look at the property.
00:21:43.269 --> 00:21:51.160
So on first glance, do the numbers look like they might be in line with what you're looking for?
00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:53.500
If so, go to the showing.
00:21:54.009 --> 00:21:56.410
If not done, don't go to the showing.
00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:58.119
Okay.
00:21:58.210 --> 00:22:12.099
So it's either first come first serve, first person showing up with the contract with a signed contract and earnest money, or you go to the showing and you say you're interested.
00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.269
Okay.
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:19.660
From there, there are a couple of different ways that I've seen local wholesalers handle things.
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:38.380
One of the wholesalers, if multiple people are interested, let's say they're asking$200,000 for the property, if multiple people are interested in buying it, what they'll do is basically you draw numbers and the person, whatever they say, Lyft, let's say highest person gets it.
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:44.259
Okay, so the person with the highest number gets the deal at that$200,000 price.
00:22:45.130 --> 00:22:47.710
Okay, that's great.
00:22:47.829 --> 00:22:49.480
I will do that all day long.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:23:12.430
Alternatively, another big wholesaler here in town, what they do is you say you're interested in the property and then they take the best and highest offer so that 200 grand can quickly turn into two 10 or two 15 or whatever the end buyer ends up paying.
00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:19.519
Not my favorite way of doing things and frankly I'm not going to, I'm not going to get in a bidding war on a wholesale property.
00:23:20.150 --> 00:23:22.220
I have, I have boundaries.
00:23:22.309 --> 00:23:22.910
Dang it.
00:23:23.869 --> 00:23:29.299
Uh, but really just like on principle, I am not going to get into a bidding war on a wholesale deal.
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.369
Okay.
00:23:31.371 --> 00:23:38.329
So those are two ways that I've seen local wholesalers handle things.
00:23:39.109 --> 00:23:49.160
Showings contracts, a nonrefundable down payment as well as multiple parties being interested in a property.
00:23:50.089 --> 00:23:54.289
It doesn't hurt to get on every single wholesaler's list that you can find.
00:23:54.609 --> 00:23:54.849
All right.
00:23:55.910 --> 00:24:05.180
Now obviously as I've said in my previous episodes on marketing, finding deals is a numbers game.
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:06.920
Okay?
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:08.000
Plain and simple.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.200
It's a numbers game.
00:24:09.950 --> 00:24:39.240
The more potential sellers highly targeted, the more potential, highly targeted potential sellers you can get in front of or have access to getting in front of, whether it be through wholesalers, real estate agents or the like, the more deals you are likely to get it is just a numbers game.
00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:46.049
A lot of people starting out flipping houses do not want to invest in marketing.
00:24:46.529 --> 00:24:47.400
That's fine.
00:24:47.579 --> 00:25:08.700
The trade off is it's going to take you longer to find a deal potentially, because again, it's a numbers game, so if you're okay with it potentially taking months to find a deal, maybe a year to find a deal because you aren't out actively searching, then that's okay.
00:25:08.701 --> 00:25:11.309
I just want your expectations to be set properly.
00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:16.049
Wholesalers are a great tool to use.
00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:20.369
They are a great source of potential deals.
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.390
They shouldn't be the only thing you're relying on.
00:25:25.170 --> 00:25:35.910
And if so, it's probably going to take you longer to find a deal just for the fact that finding deals is a numbers game.
00:25:36.390 --> 00:25:36.869
Okay.
00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:38.970
I now, can I say that one more time?
00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:43.589
Ah, yeah, but I'm trying to stress a point.
00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:44.160
Okay.
00:25:45.450 --> 00:25:46.289
All right.
00:25:46.290 --> 00:26:04.440
So we talked about what a wholesaler is, what they do, how you find them, how you work with them, how they work, what it looks like to get a deal from them and then go to a showing what it looks like to go under contract with them.
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:05.940
We covered it.
00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:06.539
Right?
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:28.019
I feel like I touched on all of the questions that I typically get about wholesalers, so remember I said that I was going to share with you the questions that you've got to be asking them, which you will find those questions in either the show notes or if you're listening on my website on this same page where you're listening to this podcast or scroll down.
00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.539
Yeah,
00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:32.490
episode 16 Holy cow.
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.630
16 episodes.
00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:34.589
That's amazing.
00:26:34.710 --> 00:26:39.089
I had no idea when I started this little thing that I would even make it this far.
00:26:39.809 --> 00:26:41.039
This is so much fun.
00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:41.640
Okay.
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:46.049
