Always consider these parameters for a
real estate deal:
Property’s Value: $250,000
Purchasing Price: $160,000
Repairs: $2,500
If you analyze the numbers, you will see that the equity available in this deal is $87,500 (Property value minus purchase price minus repairs).
So here is a hypothetical question for you: Assuming that the information given above is accurate, and the property is located in an area that you view as acceptable and/or favourable, then:
If I offered to give you this deal in exchange for $10,000 in cash, would you accept it?
Remember that this is hypothetical. The true question here is this:
Would you accept to exchange $10,000 in cash for $87,500 in equity?
For most sensible investors, the answer will be: Absolutely Yes!
This is what is called "Wholesale Real Estate Investing" - the process of buying a lot of equity at a very significant discount from another real estate investor who has already done the work of finding a deal and getting it under contract.
Just think about it - consider how easy real estate investing could be for you if you had a network of real estate investors in your area (or even all over the country) who, several times every month, offered you the opportunity to purchase significant amounts of equity for a severe discount...
...It would become quite easy to become wealthy, fairly quickly, wouldn't it?
The answer again, is: Absolutely Yes, it would be.
It is through smart "wholesale real estate investing" that you will be able to increase your net worth by $20,000 to $100,000 on every real estate deal that you do.
...Now the burning question is, "Where exactly do I find these wholesale real estate investing deals?"
I know of at least 3 solid sources...
You have got to admit - it would be a pretty great thing when you know how to find great real estate deals in which you can trade a small amount of cash for a large amount of equity without even having to find the deals yourself...
...And that is exactly what "wholesale real estate investing" is about.
So then, let's get right to it. Here are three places to find wholesale real estate deals:
1. Visit your local real estate investing club. Almost all of these clubs will have networking opportunities in order to work with other investors who wholesale deals regularly, and this is an easy way for you to find great opportunities.
2. Look out for ads in the newspaper, television, and in other media which advertise slogans like, "We Buy Houses", or "Sell Your House in 9 Days" or anything similar to that. Most often, these people are
real estate investors, and they are happy to wholesale deals to people like you.
3. Watch out for your email-box. Why? Because if and when you choose enrollment in various free e-courses online, such as that via tm-RealEstateInvesting.com, you will be provided with automatic notification about great local and national deals as they will become available. But be forewarned – you have got to act quickly whenever these deals are announced, because obviously the response is always significant.
Happy Looking!
