Why this track matters
US real estate investors buy houses directly from owners, often houses that need work or owners who need a fast, simple sale. To find those owners, an investor must reach thousands of people, have honest conversations, follow up for months, make fair offers, find buyers and close cleanly.
That is the work Narqix teams do. Clients do not hire us for "someone to dial". They hire us for three outcomes:
- More real conversations with owners who may want to sell.
- A pipeline they can trust: every lead has an owner, a next step and honest notes.
- Zero compliance surprises: every call and text follows US rules and the client's instructions.
Coach's note: In this business, one signed deal can be worth 10,000 to 30,000 or more to the client. Most deals come from a conversation that went well, a follow-up that happened on time, or a note that was accurate. Small habits create big results.
How US residential investing works (in simple words)
Who is involved
| Person | Role |
|---|---|
| Seller (owner) | Owns the property and may want to sell |
| Our client | An investor or wholesaling company that buys properties or contracts |
| End buyer | A cash investor who buys the deal from our client, then repairs and resells it (a flipper) or rents it out (a landlord) |
| Title company or closing attorney | A neutral party that checks the title, holds the money and runs the closing |
| Licensed agent | Sometimes involved, for example in the Retail Partnership Option |
The main ways our clients make money
🔁 Wholesaling with an assignment
- The client signs a purchase agreement with the seller at a fair as-is price.
- The client finds an end buyer who wants the property.
- The client assigns (transfers) its contract to the end buyer.
- The end buyer closes with the seller and pays the client an assignment fee.
Example: Contract with the seller at 103,000. Assigned to a buyer for 118,000. The client's fee is 15,000. The client never owns the house.
🔄 Wholesaling with a double close
- The client signs a purchase agreement with the seller.
- The client signs a second agreement to sell to the end buyer at a higher price.
- On closing day, the client buys from the seller (often using short-term transactional funding) and immediately sells to the end buyer.
- The client keeps the difference, minus costs for both closings.
Used when a contract cannot be assigned, or when a client prefers not to show the fee.
🛠 Fix and flip, buy and hold, wholetail
Some clients keep the deal themselves:
- Fix and flip: buy, renovate, resell for a profit.
- Buy and hold: buy, fix if needed, and rent out for long-term income.
- Wholetail: buy, clean up lightly, and sell on the open market near retail price.
🧩 Creative finance
When a cash price does not work for the seller, some clients use other structures:
- Seller financing: the seller is paid over time instead of all at once.
- Subject-to: the buyer takes over payments on the existing mortgage, which stays in the seller's name.
- Lease option: rent now, with the right to buy later.
These carry real legal and financial risks for sellers. Only the client offers them, with its counsel and title company reviewing the paperwork. Narqix team members never propose or explain terms beyond what the client has approved.
🏠 The Retail Partnership Option (novation-style listing partnership)
For homes in good condition and good areas, where the cash offer is too low for the seller:
- The client and seller sign an agreement for the client to sell the home on the open market, with a licensed agent, to a retail buyer.
- The client may fund repairs and preparation.
- The seller agrees to a longer timeline (often 60 to 120 days) and gives access for photos, inspections and showings.
- At closing, the seller receives the agreed net amount, usually more than the cash offer. The client keeps the difference.
It must be explained honestly, documented properly, and reviewed by the client's counsel. See Making Offers and the Retail Partnership Option script in the Script Library.
Why sellers accept an investor price
Investor offers are below full market value. Sellers accept because certainty, speed and simplicity matter more to them: no repairs, no showings, no commissions, a closing date they choose, and an end to a stressful situation such as an inherited house, tired landlord problems, or a home that needs too much work. See Seller Psychology and Motivation.

Check yourself
- In your own words, what is the difference between an assignment and a double close?
- Who owns the stage where comps, repairs and the offer are prepared?
- When might the Retail Partnership Option help a seller?
- Which four pages make up the Foundation path?
- Why do some sellers accept less than full market value from an investor?
Answers
- In an assignment, the client transfers its contract to the end buyer for a fee and never owns the house. In a double close, the client buys and immediately resells, so there are two closings.
- Acquisitions.
- When the home is in good condition in a good area, the cash offer is too low for the seller, and the seller can accept a longer timeline and give access.
- How a Deal Moves, Calling Compliance for Real Estate, Seller Psychology and Motivation, Real Estate Glossary.
- Certainty, speed and simplicity: no repairs, showings or commissions, a chosen closing date, and an end to a stressful situation.
