Contracting to buy a property, then assigning that contract to another buyer for a fee, without ever owning it.
Wholesalers profit from the spread between their contract price and what an end buyer (often a flipper) will pay. It requires no capital to close but depends entirely on a pipeline of motivated sellers and cash buyers.
Example: Contracting at $150,000 and assigning to a flipper at $165,000 nets a $15,000 fee.
