It seems that the rules have changed when it comes to wholesale. I remember when you were able to find the ugliest house in a good street, put him under contract, and sell their contract for a good profit. I mean, you can still do that, but with so many foreclosures in the market, its good business is in a great competition with other economic embargoes in the area, which may be in much better condition.

It's definitely a buyer's market right now. A buyer can choose and choose from so many features in the same price range of its offer, which becomes very frustrating at times. I recently had a friend decided to leave the part of wholesale real estate because of this frustration.

If anyone else is frustrated, which I suggest is … Stick it out.

I think if you took the time and assess what is happening in the area they are working, then it will not be so frustrated and make a lot of money in this market. What I mean by that is, look at foreclosures in your area and evaluate them. You may have a jewel that needs no work, and will be very easy to sell to a rebuy, in compared to trying to move the ugly house that needs a ton more work, but listed in the same price. I know that is how most of us were taught, but we have to start doing things a little differently.

I believe that if a wholesaler puts it in this market, then once the market turns around, their skills in finding great deals insurmountable. You are going to become the person in obtaining bids, it will not be as easy prey, as they are today. Consider this market as a training ground for what's to come.

Expect abundance
