While it's not strictly required, creating an LLC can bring significant perks to your wholesaling venture. For starters, it shields your personal assets from any business-related debts or legal troubles.
Here are the key elements to include in your wholesale contract template: Parties Involved: Names of the seller(s) and buyer(s), along with their signatures. Legal Description: Property description, street address, assessor parcel number (APN), and type of property.
A contract has to be understandable for all parties and it should not be necessary to contact a lawyer in order to comprehend one's contracts. Generally, the contract should be precise, clear and stringent. Law has traditionally been associated with legalese - a very stiff and formal style.
For example, a wholesaler finds a motivated homeowner and gets a distressed property under contract for $200,000. Then, they market the property to their buyers list. A flipper sees potential and agrees to buy the home for $210,000.
A wholesaler comes into the situation with an offer for the homeowner – to put the house under contract for $120,000. The wholesaler uses their network to find a potential investor to buy the home for $150,000. The investor takes on this contract as a profitable renovation project.
