I'm a huge advocate for wholesaling, especially for someone trying to do their first deal, because

0:03.7

as the lowest risk, the easiest barrier to entry. And honestly, too, I mean, it just has great

0:11.4

upside. Right? Like, you would think wholesaling is somehow less upside because you're not going to

0:18.5

make as much per deal. Yeah. But it's just not true. No. Yeah. I mean, like with flips, you could make a lot of money flipping houses. You could also lose a lot of money flipping houses. It's not like a definite you'll make money, at least with wholesaling. You will for sure make money on the deal if you close. Like our average wholesale fee this year was $33,000. Yeah. That was our average. We closed some for $200. Oh, really? But yours are all in Cali. Yeah, we're all in Cali. All across the country. Yeah. So our largest was $200,000 some thousand dollars last year. Our Our smallest was like five grand. We did a lot of

0:55.7

smalls. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, it works. You just have to believe and do the marketing and then

1:03.7

get good at sales and then refine and go. And wholesaling can be passive. You could start a business,

1:12.3

you know, higher salespeople,

1:18.9

put a leader in place. That's like the last step where it's passive or semi-passive income.

1:23.9

It's all included. And you can start for $1,000 a month, like with everything you need, not just, you know, that. Because this is the other part, too, to even speak on this part, right? We're talking about budgets and things you need to start this business, right? If you're going to go flip, you need to go raise private money. If you're going to wholesale, you need to spend money on marketing. But, you know, coaching costs money. Yep. Right? Because most people literally cannot watch this video and just go out and do it. Like, it's a good awareness. Yes. And it's good motivation. And it is step by step of how to do it. But then, you know, you get done watching this video and you're like, okay, I get how it works. Where do I get leads? How do I run an ad? How do I negotiate? How do I do? Like, you're just not going to find it all on YouTube. Nor is YouTube going to help you when you encounter the problem with the seller or finding the buyer.
