Sustainable Real Estate Investment: 7 Ways To Go Greener With Your Wholesaling Business
Going green may not be on the top of the to-do list for many investors or wholesaling company CEOs who are busier than ever. Fortunately, being a little more socially conscious and eco-friendly doesn’t require going out of your way to find a tree to hug, protesting or even sacrificing good business practices.
Here are 7 ways to make your real estate wholesaling business greener:
1. Get a Greener Office
Whether you have thousands of square feet of office space or work from a corner in your home you can have a positive impact. Everything from the paper you use to pencil holders and the coffee you drink makes a difference, and so does where you get it from. Real estate wholesalers can actually wield an immense amount of good around the globe just from their office chairs.
2. Greener Daily Operations
Whether it is just mapping a more efficient route when driving farm areas to scout for deals, choosing a more energy efficient car to do it in, or selecting more sustainable methods for your wholesaling marketing such as going digital or using paper from responsibly managed forests it matters. This speaks volumes about an investor’s credibility and brand without ever having to say a word.
3. Wholesale Greener Homes
If the green niche really appeals to you perhaps it can become a focal point of the properties you flip. Perhaps specializing in energy efficient housing, neighborhoods and property types can be what separates your business from the pack. Note that 3 of the top 10 features home buyers want most according to a new NAHB survey were all energy efficient related.
4. Greener Improvements
While most pure wholesalers may do little to no improvements to a property those that do engage in cleanup, pre-habbing and fixing up can make a difference and increase appeal by choosing energy efficient appliances, sustainable landscaping and gardening and perhaps even installing solar.
5. Work with Socially Conscious Partners
From contractors to vendors to the city and marketing agencies choose socially conscious partners that are also pushing for good and are known for responsible business practices. The company your wholesaling business keeps says a world about your brand.
6. Donate
Consider donating, or supporting causes raising donations. It could be taking part in a relay race for a cancer charity, contributing to a crowdfunding campaign, gifting property to be used as a park or shelter and getting the tax break, or just raising awareness of a campaign by supporting it on your social media profiles.
7. Find Better Funding Sources
Help stop the devastation of entire rainforests for a single loan application with large banks that don’t like working with investors anyway. Best Transaction Funding minimizes the whole process, helps your wholesaling efforts to be more efficient and of course delivers fast on flash funding for quick flips.

"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
