What to Ask a Wholesaler Before Buying Their Deal
Not every wholesale deal is created equal. Here are the must-ask questions before you sign or send earnest money.
What to Ask a Wholesaler Before Buying Their Deal
Working with wholesalers is one of the fastest ways to find off-market properties. But not all deals are equal.
Asking the right questions helps you avoid surprises and ensures you’re working with professionals who can actually close.
Key Questions
Before you commit, ask: Is the contract assignable? What comps support the ARV? How were repair costs estimated—by a contractor or just a guess? Are there any liens or title issues? What’s the earnest money requirement? Has this deal been shopped around by multiple wholesalers?
Why It Matters
These questions build trust and weed out bad opportunities.
The best wholesalers won’t mind answering—they know educated buyers close faster and with fewer headaches.
If a wholesaler avoids or dodges these questions, that’s a red flag.
Closing Thought: Good wholesalers value serious buyers who do their homework. PropPipeline makes it easy to connect with wholesalers directly, review their deals, and ask these questions up front before committing your money.
