Most foreclosures in Alaska are nonjudicial.

The trustee must record a notice of default at least 90 days before the public auction, and after a trustee’s sale the owner has no right to buy the home back unless the deed of trust allows it. That 90-day stretch is when Anchorage wholesalers should be making offers.

Alaska lenders usually foreclose through a trustee sale under a deed of trust. The sale notice is recorded and published ahead of the auction, giving Anchorage wholesalers time to contact the owner.

FAQ

Anchorage, AK wholesaling: questions and answers

How does a wholesale deal work in Anchorage?

A wholesaler signs a purchase contract with a motivated Anchorage seller, then assigns that contract to a cash buyer for a fee. The buyer closes on the home, usually as-is. The seller should know from the start that the contract may be assigned, and both sides should see the paperwork before closing.

Is wholesaling legal in Alaska?

Honest wholesaling is allowed in most states, but a growing number require disclosures or a license to market property you do not own. Rules change, so review current Alaska requirements and speak with an Anchorage real estate attorney before you advertise any contract.

What can an Anchorage wholesaler earn per deal?

There is no set fee. Your assignment fee depends on the purchase price, repair costs, and what Anchorage cash buyers will pay. The deal has to leave room for your fee and still give the end buyer a solid profit, or it will not sell.
