💰 Turn $500 into $15,000+ Flipping Houses Without Owning Them (Step-by-Step Wholesaling Guide)

💸 Guide: How to Start Wholesaling Houses with Less Than $600

Target Audience:

• Broke side hustlers
• TikTok dreamers
• Men 18–40 who watch "Make Money Online" content
• Hustle YouTube junkies
• Credit repair bros
• Beginners in real estate
• Anyone with a job they hate and a phone they love

Your angle as an affiliate marketer: This is a high-pain / high-hope crowd. Your job is to plug in the tools they need (skip tracing, CRM, autodialers, courses) and earn from it. Every tool below has affiliate potential. Let’s go.

🛠 Step 1: Build a Free CRM to Store Leads

• Use Podio.com — it’s 100% free
• Download the “Real Estate Investor App Package” from the Podio app market
• This keeps your leads, calls, notes, and offers organized

✅ Affiliate angle: Podio is free, but promote Podio training, Zapier automations, or paid CRM upgrades like REI Automator or FreedomSoft later as upsells.

🧲 Step 2: Buy a Targeted Homeowner Lead List

• Sign up for ReboGateway.com – $65/month (cancel after pulling lists)

• Pull every homeowner who:

  • Bought property between 01/01/1900 – 01/01/2003
  • Is an absentee owner (not living there = likely to sell)

• The goal: get 2,000+ leads

✅ Affiliate angle:

• ReboGateway has referral potential
• You can also promote alternatives like PropStream, BatchLeads, or ListSource
• Bundle this with a paid real estate data course or eBook

🔍 Step 3: Skip Trace Your Leads

• Go to NeedtoSkip.com
• Upload your lead list and pay $0.18 per contact to get phone numbers
• For 2,400 leads, that’s ~$432
• You now have a call list with owner names, phones, and addresses

✅ Affiliate angle:

• Plug the skip-tracing tool and upsell your audience into buying his course for a discount
• Cross-promote batch skip tracing, IDI Data, or D7 Lead Finder

🚗 Optional Step: Drive for Dollars

• Physically find vacant or ugly houses
• Build your own list: record address, check owner via tax records, skip trace manually
• Free method to supplement paid data

✅ Affiliate angle: Sell "Driving for Dollars" tracking apps like DealMachine or REIRail

📞 Step 4: Get an AutoDialer

• Sign up for AllinDialer.com – $90/month
• Upload your full skip-traced list
• Make 200+ calls/day
• Use a headset and scripts to stay efficient

✅ Affiliate angle: Autodialers are sticky subscriptions — great recurring affiliate revenue. You can also promote:

• Mojo Dialer
• CallTools
• Aircall

💼 Step 5: Track Everything Inside Podio

• Each call → either “not interested” or “maybe”
• Store the “maybes” in your Podio pipeline
• Make 5 CASH offers per day
• Use a free offer calculator or contract template (make a lead magnet!)

✅ Affiliate angle: Promote

• LegalZoom (contracts)
• Real estate calculators
• Free wholesaling templates via email opt-in

💰 Step 6: Land Your First Deal

• 20–30 leads ≈ 1 deal
• Most people won’t sell — but some are desperate
• When they accept your offer, assign the contract to an investor
• You keep the assignment fee (often $5,000–$20,000 per deal)

✅ Affiliate angle:

• Promote assignment contract templates
• Promote buyers lists, Discord groups, or coaching communities for beginners

🧠 Bonus: Monetize the Learning Curve

Affiliate marketers can double dip:

1. Target the “I want to get into wholesaling” crowd

   • Sell them courses, tools, books
   • Plug in email sequences for upsells

2. Build your own “$0 to First Deal” eBook

   • Use the steps above as core content
   • Sell it for $7 or give away for free to build your list

3. Niche into cities — “Wholesaling Atlanta” or “Wholesaling UK Post-ID Porn Crackdown” 🤐

Final Thought 💡

This isn't just a side hustle — it’s an ecosystem. The wholesaler buys data. The wholesaler needs tools. The wholesaler gets stuck. You are the one with the answers, and you get paid for giving them.

Wholesaling is pain-based and time-sensitive. Everyone wants a deal. Most quit before they get one. But with the right offers at the right choke points, you profit whether they close or not.

Let’s go eat.
