subject: Planning to Make an Investment in Real Estate? [print this page] Wholesaling houses, on the other hand, is merely feeding rehabbers the properties they need. You don't force the appreciation; you merely pad a few thousand dollars on the price of property or buy it lower than a rehabber would. It's buying extra low and selling low. What's interesting is that you can wholesale houses without a job, previous real estate experience, college diploma, or even any capital to start with.
