Wholesaling in real estate is a strategy where an investor, known as a wholesaler, contracts a property with a motivated seller and then assigns that contract to a buyer for a fee. The wholesaler essentially acts as a middleman, connecting sellers with potential buyers without actually taking ownership of the property. This method requires minimal capital and is often considered a low-risk entry point into real estate. In today's episode, we're joined by Jake Burhans, a successful entrepreneur in the real estate wholesaling sector. Jake shares valuable insights on how to get started in wholesaling with as little as $30, emphasizing the importance of purchasing a list of property owners to initiate contact. The conversation explores Jake's journey, highlighting the growth and development of his business over the years, including the expansion to include multiple team members and where he plans to take the business in future years. Listeners can expect to gain practical advice on the initial steps of wholesaling, the significance of building a team, and the transformative impact of Jake's experiences starting in college. Tune in to discover the keys to success in real estate wholesaling and gain inspiration from Jake Burhans' entrepreneurial journey.
