We’re stepping into the new year with a real estate market that’s still adjusting — and that’s exactly where wholesalers win. 📉 Mortgage rates ended last year hovering in the mid-6% range, down from the highs above 7%. That hasn’t brought back a buyer frenzy, but it has increased deal flow and serious buyer activity. 🏠 Inventory is up year-over-year (roughly 8–10% nationally), giving wholesalers more motivated sellers — especially landlords, inherited properties, and owners with equity but little patience. 💰 Cash buyers are still dominating off-market deals. In many metro areas, 25–30% of all home purchases are cash, which keeps wholesaling very much alive. 📊 Distress indicators (pre-foreclosures, probate, tired landlords) are slowly rising — not a crash, but a steady stream of opportunity for those who know how to work lists and follow up. This is a relationship, negotiation, and consistency market — not a “spray and pray” one. Those who understand value, control contracts, and build buyer confidence will thrive this year. New year, same rule: the market rewards the prepared, not the loudest. Let’s move smart. 🔑💼

Being that I just went through a recent probate case at the Stanley Mosk courthouse in Los Angeles with my own family unto which I was part of the inheritance of my great-great uncles estate, let's break down basically what a wholesaler's role is in the probate process. Probate is one of the most misunderstood — yet powerful — lanes in wholesaling. At its core, probate deals come from families who’ve inherited property and often don’t want the headache of repairs, holding costs, or managing an asset they didn’t plan for. That’s where wholesalers can actually provide value — not pressure. What makes probate different: Motivation is often situational, not financial Timelines matter (courts, attorneys, heirs) Empathy and patience close more deals than speed In today’s market, probate sellers are more open to creative solutions because: ✔ Carrying costs are higher ✔ Buyers are more selective ✔ Families want clean exits, not long listings The wholesalers winning in probate right now are the ones who: Follow up respectfully Understand the process (executor vs heirs) Work closely with title and probate attorneys Price deals realistically for today’s buyers Probate isn’t about rushing — it’s about positioning yourself as the problem solver when the time is right. If you’re working probate right now, what’s been your biggest challenge — finding the leads or converting them? 👇🏾

In this market, flashy deals aren’t the ones keeping wholesalers consistent — clean, simple deals are. Right now, buyers are prioritizing certainty over speculation. They want properties that make sense on paper, close fast, and don’t come with surprise issues. That’s why smaller spreads, straightforward rehabs, and realistic pricing are moving quicker than big “home run” deals that look good but take forever to close. Wholesalers who are winning in late 2025 understand this shift. They’re locking up deals that: Have clear title Are priced correctly from day one Require minimal buyer convincing Close smoothly and predictably The result? More repeat buyers. Fewer fall-throughs. Stronger reputations. In a market like this, speed + certainty beats ego every time. Stack the simple wins, keep your pipeline moving, and let consistency do what hype never will. If you’re seeing more clean deals move faster lately, you’re not imagining it — the market is rewarding discipline again.

Recently resigned from my job for personal reasons, took a few weeks off to get right. Now I'm all the way in full time wholesaling starting today. My intial goal is to crack a deal within 60 days from now. All advice and tips or welcomed especially from those who have been in a simualar situations. Encouragement and solid partnerships are also welcomed. Its Monday and it's money out there waiting for us to get it. Be great!

If you ever want me to take that property off your hands, I can make the process extremely simple for you. I can purchase it for $20,000 cash, cover all the closing costs, buy it completely as-is, and take care of every step of the process so you don’t have to worry about anything. The only thing I’d need from you is to come down to a fair price so the numbers make sense on my end. I’m not trying to lowball you or hurt you — my goal is to give you a straightforward solution, without any stress or surprises. The alternative would be listing it with a realtor, where you’d have to deal with repairs, inspections, appraisals, showings, months on the market, potential buyer financing falling through, and then paying 6% in realtor commissions plus closing costs. That alone can take thousands right out of your pocket. With me, there are no fees, no repairs, no commissions, no cleaning, and no waiting. Whenever you’re ready, just let me know and I can send the agreement over immediately. This is truly the easiest, fastest, and most certain way to move forward and get this property off your plate
