Here at Skip Genie we talk to virtual wholesalers quite often. Some of our clients live as far away as Canada and make a comfortable living by virtual wholesaling properties in the United States, but when a lot of people first hear about virtual wholesaling they don’t believe it’s possible. In fact, some people we know who have become successful at virtual wholesaling initially thought it was a boatload of crap when they first heard about it!
After all, how can you wholesale houses that you can’t visit…?
Make JV’s to make virtual wholesaling possible
An essential component to virtual wholesaling is making good JV’s in the markets you get properties under contract. Your JV’s can go on appointments, walk the properties, and If the homeowner wants to meet, you can send your JV to their property on your behalf.
Expect and accept commission splits
True, having JV’s means that you’ll be splitting your profits with them, but there is plenty of money to go around when you learn how to virtual wholesale properties that are thousands of miles away from you. You’ll also be able to get more targeted leads because there will be more properties that meet your criteria (deceased, vacant, high equity properties for example) when your able to do business internationally.
