Why You Need Wholesalers on Your Side

Categories: , ,

Today we are going to discuss why you need wholesalers on your side. Real estate investing is a competitive game. Therefore, the winners are those who combine smart property acquisitions with proper funding. Wholesalers can help you unlock better deals that others won’t even see. Here’s why they are an essential part of your success.

The Two Pillars of Real Estate Investing

To thrive in real estate, you need two things:

First, Great Deals:

The best properties often don’t make it to the public listing. They’re snatched up by investors at the top of a wholesaler’s list.

Second, Proper Funding:

Being “money ready” means you can buy, fix, as well as finish properties quickly without delays.

Why Wholesalers Favor the Money-Ready Investor

Wholesalers prioritize investors who:

  • Close deals fast.
  • Avoid creating complications.
  • Have funding ready to go.

When you’re easy to work with, wholesalers offer you deals before they hit the email lists. To clarify, these properties often have higher profit margins. As a result, they can be 20% more than publicly listed ones.

Example:
A property with a $400,000 ARV (After Repair Value):

  • Hard Deals: 10% profit margin = $40,000.
  • Good Deals: 15% profit margin = $60,000.
  • Great Deals: 20% profit margin = $80,000.

By securing great deals, your profits double compared to scraping through regular listings.

Be Money Ready to Maximize Success

Being “money ready” means having the funds for:

  • The purchase.
  • Repairs and renovations.
  • Carrying costs and any unexpected overruns.

To clarify, the faster you complete a deal, the quicker you see returns. Delays of just three months can slash profits in half.

The Long-Term Impact of Better Deals

Let’s compare three investors flipping three properties annually:

First, Hard Deals: $120,000/year or $360,000 over three years.

Second, Good Deals: $180,000/year or $540,000 over three years.

Third, Great Deals: $240,000/year or $720,000 over three years.

Investors at the top of a wholesaler’s list not only earn more but they also enjoy the ability to reinvest profits or fund new opportunities.

How to Get Money Ready

To work with wholesalers and secure great deals:

  • Line up your funding for the purchase, rehab, and holding costs in advance.
  • Build relationships by showing wholesalers you’re a reliable and fast closer.
  • Work with lenders like us to create a “money bucket” strategy that funds every stage of your project.

Investor Mortgage Report 4.21.2020

Investor mortgage report

The going is still tough out there for real estate investors looking for traditional financing.

 

 

What We Know:

This week doesn’t bring much (if any) relief to the mortgage markets.  The Feds have slowed down buying mortgage back securities and closings are still tough.

 

We are seeing the majority of our payoffs being delayed 2-3 weeks as mortgage companies push loans through these uncertain times.

 

Unfortunately, this means–once again–the real estate investor doesn’t rank high on their list of loans to close (or close fast).

 

The good news? There are still lending options for Real Estate Investors.  You just need to know where to find them.

 

Even though most traditional lending options are currently off the table, there is still one source that is interested in lending to real estate investors (at least in some markets):

Credit unions.

 

 

According to our market research, there are still a couple of credit unions maintaining business as usual. Better yet, they are still lending with good terms on rental properties.

 

Why do they seem less impacted than the rest of the lending world?  The answer is heavily based on their loan mix. Unlike banks, credit unions do not have a heavy investment in all these small businesses that have closed down. (Remember, the closure of small businesses impacts banks via deposits and bad loans. Bad loans create a need for banks to slow down on all lending.) Secondly, a good deal of their mortgages are kept inside the credit union, and don’t rely on secondary markets to keep lending.

 

So, if they can make a good loan on a piece of real estate, they will.

 

What You Can Do:

Of course, not every credit union lends on rental properties. You will need to call around in your market to find out which ones offer this service.  

 

 

Also consider that the ones who are doing these loans will be BUSY, and you’ll need to be patient.  It took us 2 days just to get a call-back…that is just reality in the strange times we’re living in.
