I found a house and the asking price is $7000. I'd like to wholesale it for $12,000.
I did it once a couple years back by putting my name "and/or assigns" on the buyer line of the contract. That was before I was a RE agent.
Now that I am licensed, I am not sure if I can still wholesale homes without going through my broker and paying brokerage fees.
I talked to another agent/investor who suggested that I have the seller sign limited agency with me and negotiate that I pocket the difference between their asking price and the actual selling price. In other words, I would market the house for more than the asking price that the seller is looking for. (Of course, the seller would have to agree with this).
Am I missing something here? I am not sure if having my license is an advantage or disadvantage for this. Any suggestions much appreciated.
