Top 6 Property Types for Wholesalers to Consider
Whether you're new to wholesaling or you've been around for a while, you may be wondering what type of properties you can actually wholesale? Maybe you've worked with single family homes, but you'd like to expand your portfolio. Here's a look at the six top property choices for real estate wholesalers to consider.
Single Family Homes
This one is pretty much a given, and the most common property targeted by wholesalers. Often, wholesalers look for properties which can be most easily flipped.
Multi-Family Homes
In addition to single family homes, many wholesalers target duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. Multi-family homes with one to four units are very popular for wholesaling because they can be very appealing for investors looking to rent the property after rehabbing it.
Condominiums and Townhouses
You may not have considered wholesaling condos and townhouses. They can be flipped, and can become very easy to wholesale once you get into them. However, you will have to pay attention to the HOA of the building and you may run into some unique rules for property transfers making it a bit more difficult.
Land and Lots
Land and buildable lots are very popular for wholesaling and can help you turn a quick profit. Whether you decide to wholesale infill lots, large acreage or even parking lots, there's money to be made here. The profit may not be as large as some of the other properties on the list, but it's still very easy and the holding cost can be much lower. In addition, you will be dealing with lower price points and fewer restrictions, in most cases.
Apartment Buildings
It's possible to wholesale apartment buildings of any size. Of course, the larger the property, the larger the potential profit, in most cases. These properties are not always easy to wholesale due to a limited resale market, but they are in demand.
Mobile and Manufactured Homes
Similar to single family homes, mobile and manufactured homes can be profitable for wholesalers. In fact, you can wholesale an entire mobile home park. The resale market can be large since these properties are more affordable than a traditional single family home.
There are several different types of properties you can wholesale. You don't have to just settle for single family homes. In fact, some of the most successful wholesalers don't even deal with single family homes. Consider these six types of properties and you might just find one type you want to specialize in wholesaling, or use to diversify your business.
