Do you need a buyers list to flip houses?

Let me be very frank with you. Trying to sell the house to a rehabber when you don't know any is like trying to sell peanut butter in the middle of the desert. Of course you may get lucky, and a rehabber finds out about your deal. But I definitely recommend building the buyers list and "selling the property before you buy it".

If you have the money, if you can afford to hold the property or to rehab it yourself, then go ahead and buy it. But if you want to flip, then the way you are going about it is wrong! This is the way that most people first try to do it and, by the way, most of them also fail.

My analogy of this strategy to selling peanut butter in the desert sounds harsh, but I have a reason to have made it. What happens often is you think that you have a good deal, but once you try to sell the property you find that nobody wants it. How do you know the deal is a deal? Just because it came cheap does not make it a good deal.

To avoid such problems I recommend working hard on finding buyers first and making sure you know there is a market for your deal. Make sure that you know the price you actually can sell houses for, which will enable you to find the real deals. Finding a cheap deal requires little skill; finding the buyers is what gives you the power!

Finding the buyers is what takes skill and work - any ignoramus can go find a deal, especially in today's market. Knowing your buyers, knowing what they really want in a deal is what separates a successful real estate wholesaler from most people in this business.
