What does the massive Twitter IPO mean for real estate wholesalers?

Today saw the launch of the long awaited and hugely hyped Twitter IPO. So what does it all mean for real estate investors? Good, bad, ugly, or the best news of the year?

Twitter’s IPO winded up being a pretty significant success. At least it received a far warmer welcome and better reviews than Facebook’s. Surprisingly the IPO became the second largest internet IPO, beating out Google.

While the social network’s IPO saw share prices soar some 92% in the first day of trading, they summarily fell from the sky like a winged bird; winding up below opening price within hours.

Further commentary from some of the top tech analysts chided the theater as another indicator of not only IPOs, but tech stocks as a whole being “overblown” and about ready for a down cycle.
The lessons here are clear. Stocks are extremely volatile, and normally not in a good way. There is pretty much zero control over these investments and no protection from the downside. To top it off it appears the whole tech industry is primed for a pop.

So for real estate wholesalers this is firstly a resounding confirmation that you are on the right track. You might be extra proud if you flipped a $100 million of Twitter stock today and doubled your dough. Few probably did that, and few if any will anytime soon, if ever again. With flipping houses though, you can do far better than that every day and retain full control of how much you make. The icing on the cake is that the new real estate boom is just taking off and likely has another 7 to 15 years to enjoy.

Use these facts, plus the other advantages of direct real estate investment like leverage and tax benefits to highlight the benefits for your end buyers and investors to wholesale more homes to them.

The Twitter IPO will also certainly mean a shake up for advertisers with many new ways to wholesale homes via the social network. In addition to the powerful Twitter advertising options for small business already being offered and new additions like zip code geo-targeting and data sales, more will come and make it a more attractive platform for real estate investment companies.

Of course it might be fun to grab a single Twitter stock certificate to hang on the wall and show off, but the real money is undoubtedly in leveraging as much transactional funding as possible to capitalize on the current real estate market.
