Wholesale Deal RechnerFormel

## Wholesale Real Estate Deals

Wholesaling involves getting a property under contract at a low price and assigning the contract to an end buyer (flipper or landlord) for a fee.

### How It Works

1. Find a distressed property below market value
2. Get it under contract with the seller
3. Find an end buyer willing to pay more
4. Assign the contract for an assignment fee

### The Assignment Fee

Your profit is the difference between your contract price and the end buyer's price. Typical wholesale fees range from $5,000 to $20,000 per deal.

### Making the Deal Work for Everyone

The deal must leave enough profit for the end buyer. Use the 70% rule: the end buyer's total cost (purchase + rehab) should not exceed 70% of ARV to ensure adequate profit margin.

Lösungsbeispiel

ARV $300,000, rehab $40,000. Contract price $160,000, assignment fee $10,000. End buyer faces 12% closing/holding costs.

  1. End buyer purchase price: $160,000 + $10,000 = $170,000
  2. End buyer closing/holding: $300,000 x 12% = $36,000
  3. End buyer total cost: $170,000 + $40,000 + $36,000 = $246,000
  4. End buyer profit: $300,000 - $246,000 = $54,000
  5. End buyer ROI: $54,000 / $246,000 = 22.0%
  6. MAO at 70%: $300,000 x 70% - $40,000 = $170,000
  7. Your assignment fee: $10,000
