Making Quick Cash Through Wholesale Real Estate Investing

Wholesaling real estate is one of the best no money, no credit, and no risk ways of making money quickly in real estate. This is where you tie up a property at a discount (using an agreement or contract) and then wholesale (or flip it) to another buyer or investor for a quick profit. You basically just look to get properties under contract and then assign those contracts to other buyers or investors at a higher price. Your profit is made through the difference of the purchase price or an assignment fee, whichever works better for you and the particular situation.

Wholesaling or flipping real estate is a great way to get into real estate investing without needing cash or good credit to qualify for a loan. Since you are not taking ownership there are no closing or holding costs and you do no repairs or work yourself. This is one of the reasons it is a great low risk type of strategy.

One thing to keep in mind is it won't necessarily work everywhere. For example, if you are in a very rural area you will have limited number of sellers, as well as buyers to wholesale the properties to. This means wholesaling will work best in larger towns and cities.

Traditional real estate investing methods typically require cash, credit, and/or other inherent risk. However with real estate wholesaling you can make an extra $5,000-$15,000 or more in a much shorter time frame, sometimes in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Some points to help as your starting is this strategy works best with properties that need repairs and or have a motivated seller behind it. Sellers cannot easily sell a property on there own without doing the necessary repairs if needed, so they are willing to sell at a discount. They may be other reasons the seller is motivated such as job loss, financial problems, divorce, etc, so they are more willing to do what they can to get rid of their problem.

Additionally, this investing strategy is about speed as much as anything. Not only to turn the property quickly but make cash quickly. So once you have an agreement with a motivated seller, you'll want to have networked with investors that would be interested in the types of properties you are tying up and arrange create terms that will work for you and the buyer correctly. There are effective methods to wholesaling houses that will allow you to systematically do this and avoid many mistakes beginning investors make. When you wholesale properties correctly, it will be quick cash for you and be worth several thousands more for the end buyer making it a great win-win strategy!
