I contacted a cash buyer and he was extremely interested in what I had to say. I'm new at this and still a little nervous. Anyway, he asked me how I got paid. Does anyone have an excellent, encouraging and optimistic way of answering this question to the cash buyer???
Thank you again, in advance.

how you get paid is by wholesaling the prop over to them, either assigning it to them or double closing it & charging a fee upfront non refundable either a part of it or all of it & the rest out of escrow.
So if you wholesale a deal to your buyer & you charge 10k, you could ask for 2k upfront non refundable & the rest out of escrow or just charge 10k upfront.
Basically investor wholesalers have gotten paid out of escrow when they have gotten paid & not upfront but it is better now to collect something if not all the fee upfront to ensure that the buyer will perform & not back out & give you a bad reputation & lose out on the $ too.
You give a stipulation though with the non refundable fee that it is refundable if they cannot close the property due to a Title issue such as a clouded title, other owners that come up on the title search & they have to agree to sell the property & were not notified etc. ok just put that in your agreement ok. hope this helps.
