Show Notes

This week it's just me answering a question from one of our listeners who was asking what is 'real estate wholesaling' - I explain the original meaning of the term as I understood it and then the new meaning as it is widely used across the US, which happens to be very similar if not the same as the UK term 'Deal Sourcing'. Hope you find the episode useful - enjoy!

I am recording this episode while the Easter Bunny is eagerly anticipated at home so gotta go now, wishing you a Happy Easter!
