Wholesale Real Estate Versus Retail Real Estate

On this podcast episode I talk about wholesale real estate versus retail real estate. This podcast episode topic is an important concept to understand. This episode topic came about based on a question by one of our listeners. There question was “why pay 10% interest if you can get a 4% mortgage? That’s a great questions and I thought it would make a good topic for a podcast episode. I called it Wholesale Real Estate Versus Retail Real Estate because this is really the essence of you understanding why as cash investors we need to use private lenders. If you are buying wholesale real estate then you are paying all cash and you cannot use a regular mortgage. The reason you cannot use a regular mortgage are because either the seller will only accept all cash or a mortgage company would not offer a mortgage (for example on a damaged property). Situations where you would have to make an all cash offer include: BANKS Banks do not accept mortgages when they are liquidating properties so any offer on an REO, Short Sale, Foreclosure or Pre-Foreclosure would have to be all cash AUCTION SITES Auction Sites like Hubzu, and Auction.com will only accept all cash offers and will not take offers with a mortgage DAMAGED HOUSES Houses that have any kind of damage from water, flood, mold, or fire cannot be purchased with a mortgage BUYING FROM MOTIVATED SELLERS If you are buying a house from motivated sellers where you say “we buy houses for cash” or you are using postcards, yellow letters, Facebook Ads etc. to market to motivated sellers then you have to pay all cash. On all of the above scenarios you would need to make an all cash offer which means you need to either have the cash yourself or you need to use a private lender or hard money lender.

Best real estate investor podcast.

Lex gives you real tips with actual names of multiple sites and services to use from the beginner up to advanced. I feel he’s giving away his classes for free on the podcast. Most podcasts stop short of details and give generic advice unless you join there groups.

Great show for beginners or experts!

As an amateur flipper since I was in my teens, I kind of have gotten pretty good at identifying great opportunities and taking advantage of them. But, Lex dives much deeper and gives actionable tips on how to make sure you are looking at everthing before making any decisions. I'm hooked!

Be Prepared to Learn!

Two words: Information Dense. Sweet Moses. I’ve listened to other real estate investing podcasts but this by far is the most practical, the most hands-on podcast I have heard to date. You can tell that the host, Lex, is very passionate about real estate investing. That passion with his experience translates into an excellent podcast. He shares theory about a topic and then tells a story about his experiences in the real world. That to me is gold!
