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.
This is where most new wholesalers fail: they send deals with inflated ARVs and lowball rehab numbers. Cash buyers stop answering. DealAnalyzerAI fixes that — every deal you send out has defensible ARV, real rehab numbers, and a clear MAO that makes sense for your buyer.
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 DealAnalyzerAI to get ARV, rehab estimate, and MAO. The MAO formula for wholesalers: MAO = (ARV × 70%) − Repairs − Your Assignment Fee.
- 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 deals live or die on the MAO formula. The standard wholesaler MAO is:
MAO = (ARV × 70%) − Repair Costs − 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
That's the absolute most you can offer the seller and still leave your cash buyer the 30% margin they need to make the flip work. Our wholesale real estate calculator runs this math instantly and lets you adjust the percentage by market.
