  Wholesale real estate investing (i.e. "quick-turn" or
"flipping" real estate property) is conceptually very
simple. Here's how it works:

First, "Investor A" finds a great real estate deal with
a lot of equity. Typically, Investor A will have spent
a significant amount of time, money, and expertise to

strikes a deal with Investor A to turn the deal over to
Investor B in exchange for some amount of cash, called

contract to Investor B.

Third, Investor B does his "due diligence" (i.
