While many people assume the property would be a fixer-upper or a [foreclosure](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/blog/tips-for-buying-foreclosure-properties), it’s possible to flip a house without doing any work to it. For example, you research communities in [Nassau County](http://sdnyrealty.com/nassau-county-commercial-real-estate/) and find an underpriced house in [Mineola](http://sdnyrealty.com/mineola-commercial-real-estate/) for $500,000. Your offer to buy the house is accepted. You then quickly find a buyer for that property at $510,000. In a short span of time, you’ve made $10,000, a substantial return on your investment. Investors often speculate in up-and-coming or under-valued neighborhoods. ## No Credit Requirement or Cash Necessary If you have no credit or bad credit, you can still reap the benefits of wholesale real estate, because you aren’t actually buying a home. Instead, you are just a conduit between a seller and another buyer. Investors often lend money with interest to those speculators flipping a house. These are three types of investors: - Partners A partner may be anyone you know who is interested in a solid investment: a friend, a business associate, a relative. - Hard Money Lenders Hard money lenders provide cash to individuals at a very high interest rate. - Private Money Lenders Private money lenders are everyday people who are looking to invest in real estate. ## Gain Valuable Real Estate Experience Wholesaling is a great way to enter the world of real estate investing. From this experience, you will learn the ins and outs of the art of the real estate deal, such as the criteria for buying and [selling](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/blog/selling-a-house) investment properties. Then, you can begin profitably rehabbing real estate properties if you are interested. You will also gain the ability to recognize [hot real estate opportunities](https://blog.sdnyrealty.com/blog/long-island-housing-market), which will help increase your return on investment in future deals.
