While it’s usually portrayed as part of the dreams of most working individuals, not all homebuyers are looking for their fantasy homes. Some buyers are looking for a good investment to make a profit, or even to buy a home with instant equity to live in. The recent downturn in the real estate market has created a tremendous opportunity to buy real estate at a fraction of the prices that homes were selling for several years ago. While you can find some decent deals by looking at homes that are listed by Realtors, there are often better deals available. This takes some help, in some cases.

Those individuals who invest in the real estate market and who do so with cash can always get the best deals. After all, they can close quickly without having to go through the loan approval process. Sellers are oftentimes willing to accept significant discounts for a cash buyer or an investor.

Finding the deals is often the hardest part. It usually involves spending day after day in the trenches, searching for that one property out of thousands that the seller is willing to accept a big discount on the sales price in order to have a fast, cash sale.

There are a handful of real estate ‘wholesalers’ who spend the time and energy looking full-time for these deals and pass on the deal to an end buyer. Their compensation is usually for a modest wholesale fee, but the benefit is that you, the end buyer can purchase a home for as much as 30-50% below the appraised value.
