What Is Wholesale Real Estate?
Wholesale real estate is a strategy where an investor (the wholesaler) puts a property under contract at a discounted price, then assigns that contract to a cash-buying investor for an assignment fee — usually $5,000 to $25,000 per deal. The wholesaler never takes title to the property and rarely uses any of their own money.
The wholesaler's job is to find motivated sellers, lock the property at a price below market, accurately estimate ARV and rehab, and assign the deal to a cash buyer at a price that still leaves the buyer enough margin to flip or hold profitably.
Wholesale screening can help organize ARV, repair, and offer assumptions. Estimates are not guarantees; verify comparable sales, property condition, and local buyer requirements before presenting or contracting a deal.
How to Wholesale Real Estate (Step by Step)
The wholesale real estate process in five steps:
- Build a buyers list: 30+ active cash buyers in your market. Title companies, REIA meetings, and Facebook groups are good sources.
- Find motivated sellers: Driving for dollars, direct mail, PPC, cold calling, or networking with wholesalers and agents.
- Analyze the deal: Use a Buyer Pay Ceiling as the primary offer method, then account for estimated rehab and your assignment fee. The 70% rule is an educational default comparison, not a universal buyer requirement.
- Lock the property under contract: Use a standard purchase agreement with an "and/or assigns" clause and an inspection contingency.
- Assign to a cash buyer: Send your deal sheet, collect a non-refundable earnest deposit, and close at the title company. You get paid your assignment fee at closing.
Wholesale Real Estate Calculator — The MAO Math
Wholesale offer screening starts with the expected buyer's pay ceiling, then subtracts repair assumptions and the assignment fee:
Offer Scenario = (Selected ARV × Buyer Pay Ceiling) − Estimated Repairs − Assignment Fee
Example deal:
- ARV: $250,000
- Rehab estimate: $35,000
- Your assignment fee target: $10,000
- MAO = ($250,000 × 0.70) − $35,000 − $10,000 = $130,000
This is an underwriting scenario, not a guarantee of what a buyer will pay. The 70% rule can be used as an educational default comparison, but local buyer requirements, costs, and market evidence should inform each offer.
