Real estate wholesaling is an investment technique that has recently become quite popular because –

• Real estate investing using a wholesale strategy requires little in terms of capital requirements, except that which is required for an earnest money deposit.
• As an investment technique where one acts as a middleman, real estate wholesaling is profitable, especially with a rapidly appreciating market.
• Real estate wholesaling allows new investors to gain practical experience, which includes building referral relationships with lenders and curating a buyers list of cash buyers.

With its rise in popularity, opponents have voiced concern, contending that real estate wholesalers are violating license law by performing actions that rise to a level that requires a Massachusetts real estate license.

This is simply not true. Wholesaling principles are present throughout a competitive marketplace, seen even in the local lemonade stand run by the neighbor’s kid. Wholesaling real...

Utah is one of America's most unique and fascinating states.  It was admitted to the union as our 45th state in 1896, also making it one of our youngest states. 

Fifty years prior to statehood, Mormons first settled Utah as part of their search for a promised land free from religious persecution. Today, Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Mormons still make up about 70% of the state’s 3.2 million people and have considerable influence on many parts of the state and its institutions.

Utah is centrally located making it an important transit center, has a thriving economy, and a relatively young and economically stable population base.

For these reasons and many others, you may be asking yourself if wholesaling real estate is legal in Utah, and if so, what do you need to know if you’re considering this as an income-producing venture.

The real estate wholesaling business simply refers to an investment technique.  A real estate wholesaler or investor enters into a purchase agreement (or contract of sale) that establishes for the buyer/wholesaler certain rights/obligations under the Doctrine of Equitable Interest or Equitable Conversion, but then chooses to sell these established rights to someone else, an end buyer, before the sale closes.

The difference between the original sale price for the investment property and the higher price paid by another buyer, often a cash buyer, is the earned assignment fee.

In other words, the buyer takes ‘equitable title’ or becomes the ‘equitable owner’ when the contract is fully executed. The time referenced in this regard is defined as the time between these two homebuying events -

1. The execution of a contract of sale for real property, when earnest money is given pending a closing.
2. The delivery of the deed and marketable title to the buyer upon...

Real Estate Wholesalers are investors who employ a technique in which they sign a purchase agreement (with the inclusion of an earnest money deposit) as the buyer. But then the wholesaler finds another party (often referred to as the end buyer) to purchase the real property (rental property, or otherwise) for a higher price – to wit, the profit earned as a middleman. 

Wholesale houses purchased by real estate wholesalers tend to be below market value and offered by motivated sellers and those facing financial distress and uncertainty, like with the circumstances created by a pending foreclosure.

When investing in wholesale properties, the contract’s buyer receives this transferable right by way of the contract through the Principle of Equitable Conversion or Equitable Interest.
