Questions & Answers

Q: How do other wholesalers steal deals?

Other wholesalers can steal deals by finding your property address through internet posts, misrepresenting your property to potential buyers, or daisy chaining your deals to make a profit.

Q: How can I protect my cash buyers list from being misused?

Vet your cash buyers list regularly to remove wholesalers, co-wholesalers, and daisy chainers. Additionally, use Google Drive's advanced settings to prevent forwarding of property pictures to unauthorized individuals.

Q: Why is it important to use clear verbiage in the assignment contract?

Clear verbiage in the assignment contract can protect you by informing buyers that contacting the seller directly will result in the forfeiture of their non-refundable deposit and the cancellation of their assignment contract.

Establish if your seller will be present during the walkthrough. If the seller is present, it's essential to accompany them throughout and prevent direct communication between buyers and sellers. Limit the number of buyers present to maintain control.
