Another option might be to accept a lower wholesaling fee or even no fee just to get the deal done and help out the property owner. We know that this isn’t very exciting or fun to hear. Why would you put all that effort into a deal and not make anything on it? The reason is that the most valuable thing you’ll have as a commercial real estate investor is your reputation.
