# Analyze a wholesale deal

> Enter your contract price, assignment fee and costs in Deal Analyzer, model your end buyer's numbers, and see your profit and Deal Grade.

Use the **Wholesale** strategy when you plan to put a property under contract and assign that contract to an end buyer for a fee. There is no financing or rehab for you to enter. Instead you enter your deal and model what your buyer would experience. The steps every strategy shares are in [Run the numbers](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/find-and-evaluate-a-property/run-the-numbers/).

## What you need

| | Fields |
|---|---|
| **Required** | Property Address, City, State, ZIP Code, Contract Price (with Seller), Assignment Fee |

Required fields have a red asterisk, and **Analyze My Deal** stays disabled until they are filled in. If some fields are missing, you see **Score withheld** instead of a Deal Score, with a banner listing what to add.

## Enter your wholesale deal

1. **Choose Wholesale**

   In **Deal Analyzer**, under **Select Your Investment Strategy**, select **Wholesale**, then pick the property address under **Property Information**.

2. **Add notes (optional)**

   In **Property Information**, **Property Condition** and **Seller Motivation** are free-text notes for your own reference.

3. **Enter Your Wholesale Deal**

   Enter the **Contract Price (with Seller)** and your **Assignment Fee**, the fee you earn for assigning the contract. A **Total Price to End Buyer** line adds the two together. Enter your **Earnest Money Deposit** and **Est. Days Under Contract**.

4. **Set who pays each cost**

   Enter **Marketing Costs**, which are always paid by you. For **Inspection Costs**, **Title / Escrow / Closing Costs** and **Other Costs**, enter the amount and choose who pays it from **Paid by**: **Wholesaler (me)** or **End Buyer**. Inspection and other costs start as yours, and title, escrow and closing costs start as the buyer's.

   ![Attributable Costs with Inspection Costs, Title / Escrow / Closing Costs and Other Costs, each with a Paid by menu set to Wholesaler (me) or End Buyer](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/images/analyze-a-deal/wholesale-paid-by.png)

5. **Decide whether the buyer sees your fee**

   The **Hide Assignment Fee from Buyer Report** toggle is on by default, with the note "Buyer will only see total price". Turn it off to produce a copy that shows your fee and profit. This affects the PDF you export, not the numbers on screen.

6. **Enter the End Buyer Analysis**

   Under **End Buyer Analysis**, choose the **Buyer's Investment Strategy**: **Fix & Flip**, **BRRRR** or **Buy & Hold**. Enter an **Estimated Rehab Cost**, the **After Repair Value (ARV)**, and the **Buyer's Down Payment %**. For BRRRR and Buy & Hold, also enter an **Expected Monthly Rent**. **Check Comps** is in this section's header, and **Use as ARV** fills the buyer's ARV ([Check comps and set ARV](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/analyze-a-deal/check-comps-and-set-arv/)).

7. **Select Analyze My Deal**

   The button is in the results column on the right.

> **Warning:** Moving a cost to the buyer raises your net profit, but it also raises the buyer's all-in price and can make the deal harder to sell.

> **What you should see:** a **Deal Score** card with a number from 0.0 to 10.0 and a badge, then a **Your Profit** card and an **End Buyer Analysis** card.

## Read the results

The **Your Profit** card shows:

- **Assignment Fee**.
- **Net Profit**: your fee after the costs you pay.
- **ROI**.
- **Capital at Risk**: your earnest money plus the costs you pay, which is what you lose if the deal dies. Earnest money is returned at closing, so it is not counted as an expense.
- **Deal Grade**: a letter grade with a short label, shown below the Deal Score and in addition to it. It is a separate read on the wholesale deal. For how to use it, see [Deal Score](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/reference/field-reference/deal-score/).

Under the grade, a message tells you whether your fee leaves the deal sellable. It shows the largest fee that keeps the deal sellable, tells you to reduce your fee or renegotiate the contract price if you are over it, or tells you to renegotiate with the seller if the contract price is too high to assign at all. A reminder follows it: verify that assignment is permitted in your market, because wholesaling rules vary by state.

Below, a **Wholesale Deal Breakdown** lists the contract price, assignment fee, **Total Price to Buyer**, earnest money, the costs you pay and days under contract. The **End Buyer Analysis** card, titled with the buyer's strategy, shows what the buyer would experience: for a flip, **Buyer's Total Investment**, **Buyer's Projected Profit**, **Buyer's ROI** and **Profit Margin**; for a rental strategy, the buyer's cash flow, **Cash-on-Cash ROI** and **Cap Rate**. A **Detailed Buyer Numbers** section opens for the full breakdown.

The badge next to the score reads **Excellent Deal**, **Good Deal**, **Fair Deal** or **Poor Deal**.

> **Tip:** Lower your **Assignment Fee** or the **Contract Price (with Seller)**, then select **Re-Analyze Deal**, to see where the buyer's numbers start to work.

## Save the deal to your pipeline

Select **Save to Pipeline**, at the top of the page or under the Deal Score. Fill in every required field first.

> **What you should see:** the message "Deal saved to pipeline!", then Deal Pipeline opens with your deal in the **Analyzing** stage.
