What is a NJ Real Estate Wholesaler?


Flipping houses has many implications. Investors buy a property, rehab, renovate, and then sell for a considerable profit.  A type of investor is a wholesaler.
A wholesaler places (typically) distressed property under contract and transfers or sells the property to another investor. Someone can use this opportunity to build income with little capital or credit. The investor uses cash, lines of credit, or hard money loans. This allows quick closings on properties that sometimes need many repairs.
Typically, it is illegal for anyone, EXCEPT for a Realtor or Broker to sell a home for a third party. Wholesaling real estate can be illegal if not done properly.
The majority of real estate contracts do not state that it is assignable. However, a clause can be added that states you have the FULL right to “ASSIGN” which means 'giving up' your right to purchase a piece of real estate by selling that right to another investor, your buyer. The contract that you assign is the original purchase agreement that the homeowner signs with you.  

Also, write in an escape clause in special provisions that will allow you to terminate the contract at no fault if you are unable to find another buyer. An escape clause could be as simple as "the offer is subject to my partner's approval."

This is just business like any other and the free market system - buying low and selling high - nothing illegal about that.

According to cnbc.com U.S. wholesale inventories rose as expected in August while sales at wholesalers posted the first gain in four months, government data released on Wednesday.
There seems to be lots of opportunity in Somerset, Middlesex, Union Counties here in NJ.
