He was also with us on episode 19

where we discussed ‘how much do you really need to know before
getting started flipping houses?’

 

In today’s episode we talk about how

real estate wholesalers operate and how to become one of their VIP
buyers.

 

There is a very common misconception

that wholesalers don’t leave enough meat on the bone when they sell
their deals.  That
can and does happen, but it’s not every deal and not every
wholesaler.

 

We discuss how we’ve seen

wholesalers put out great deals at crazy prices because they made
assumptions that were invalid. 

 

Andy gives an example of how he just

bought a house from a wholesaler that thought the house would only
work as a rental. 
Andy determined it would work as a flip and snatched the deal up
and wholesaled it himself at a higher price.

 

Some key points to take away from

this episode are as follows:

 

  1. Be top of mind with good
  2. wholesalers (call them on a regular basis and befriend
    them)
  3. Develop friendships.  Don’t just say, ‘Give me,
  4. give me, give me.’
  5. Be prepared.  Be ready with funding,
  6. earnest money, offers, etc.
  7. Don’t make assumptions.  Do your own due
  8. diligence.

    Andy wholesales a TON of deals every

    year and his insights on how to build a great buyers list and how
    he operates his business are priceless.
