Introduction to Wholesale Real Estate

  • Wholesale real estate involves sourcing discounted properties, contracting to buy them, then selling the contract to cash buyers for a profit.
  • The wholesaler's profit is the difference between the contract price with the seller and what the cash buyer is willing to pay.
  • This business model allows for significant income potential with low startup costs and risk.
