There is a lot of chatter about buying REO’s and foreclosures, making a fortune in real estate, and getting rich quick. A lot of big promises and under-developed plans. Our program isn’t one of these.

A reseller’s goal is to obtain access to a package through a direct relationship with a seller for the purpose of buying it at one price and then reselling it to an exit buyer for a higher price. Their profit is the spread, the difference between the two prices. Some resellers are worth their weight in gold while others are not.

Chicken and the egg

Chicken and the egg

A buyer has reviewed the package and would like to submit an offer to the seller. The seller explains to the buyer that they have it under contract with the bank and will sign a purchase agreement with the buyer once they provide proof of funds. However, the buyer will only proof funds once the bank contract can be verified. The reseller will not provide any proof of contract until the buyer shows proof of funds. Buyer thinks reseller can’t proof the contract and the reseller thinks the buyer can’t proof funds. Neither party is willing to take the first step. Here lies the chicken and the egg.

Why does everyone think buying bulk directly from the bank is the answer? If you are successful enough to be able to trade with the bank, then you have gone where most buyers never will. There is an alternative – buying on the secondary market from private sellers. Here are the pros and cons of both.
