Wholesalers often target distressed properties in need of renovations.

Since these properties may need too much work for the average home buyer, Flippers are an ideal demographic to target when assigning a wholesaling contract.

To find Flippers in PropStream, use our "Flippers" Quick List.

Cash Buyers

Find Cash Buyers

Cash buyers are often professional investors with enough capital to invest in real estate opportunities as they're presented.

Cash transactions are typically quicker and easier, allowing you to move on to your next wholesaling deal sooner.

Working with a wholesaler may intrigue an investor with multiple properties, as it saves them the hassle of finding new investment opportunities.

To find investors with multiple properties, apply these filters:

Buyers who pay solely in cash typically have higher net worths and are often professional investors. Targeting cash buyers helps ensure that you're reaching out to potential buyers who can afford a new real estate purchase.

Selling your flip to a cash buyer will also lead to a quicker transaction, allowing you to roll those funds into your next flip sooner.

Working With an Agent vs. Getting Your Real Estate License

Once you’ve found a buyer for your property, you’ll need to complete the closing process.

The closing process involves a lot of detailed paperwork and contracts, so working with an experienced real estate agent can be helpful.

Keep in mind that working with a real estate agent will mean that they get a commission from the transaction.

If you want to forego working with an agent and keep the commission, you may consider getting your real estate license.

Tip: You can find agents in PropStream by using our filters or Heat Maps to search for on-market properties!

Important: When signing real estate contracts, we recommend working with a legal professional to ensure you know exactly what you agree to.
