Real estate investing can come in many different strategies. The industry itself is massive and has many other asset classes, hold times, and business models that you can implement.
Wholesaling is a nickname used to describe a type of real estate investing or transaction where the investor buys and sells an interest in the property without holding it.
Wholesalers typically use a double close or an assignment of the contract to sell the property. The investor buys the double property close and immediately sells it to the end buyer.
To be a wholesaler that can get a high percentage of deals to the closing table over the long run, you need a big picture skillset than just negotiating contracts with sellers.
You need specialized skills to be aware of and work on as a wholesaler. One of them is finding comparative sales or comps and adjusting to the subject property.
