Wholesaling Real Estate in Bexar County, Texas
Wholesaling lets a Bexar County investor earn on a San Antonio area house without taking out a mortgage or hiring a rehab crew. You sign a discounted purchase contract with the owner, then sell your position in that contract to a cash investor for a fee.
Texas lenders usually foreclose without going to court, so a Bexar County home can reach the first Tuesday auction soon after the notice is posted, and a contract signed early gives you time to line up a buyer.

What makes Bexar County a good wholesaling market?
In Bexar County you tie up a house with a signed contract and a modest earnest money check rather than a loan. The cash buyer you bring in pays for the repairs, so there are no contractors to manage, and a clean assignment can close in a matter of weeks.
In Bexar County, the investors who land off-market deals are usually the ones watching probate cases, divorce filings, and posted foreclosure notices, then calling owners before anyone else does.
How do Bexar County wholesale deals work?
A Bexar County assignment usually moves through six stages, from the first owner contact to the fee at closing:
- Find a distressed property
Build lead lists of Bexar County heirs, worn-out landlords, and owners named in posted foreclosure notices, since each of them is under pressure to sell. - Run the numbers
Price the after-repair value (ARV) with recent sales on nearby San Antonio area streets, because every number in your offer flows from it. - Sign a purchase contract
Settle on a Bexar County contract price low enough to cover both your buyer's margin and your own assignment fee. - Find a cash buyer
Bring the signed deal to a flipper, landlord, or other cash buyer already on your Bexar County list. - Assign the contract
Sign an assignment agreement that hands your Bexar County contract rights to that buyer in return for your fee. - Collect your fee
Expect your fee to be paid out of the closing funds when your buyer completes the Bexar County purchase.

How should you price a Bexar County wholesale offer?
Your offer begins with the ARV, the price a Bexar County home should bring once the repairs are done.
Most San Antonio cash buyers apply the 70% Rule: they cap their price at 70% of ARV minus the repair estimate. Your assignment fee has to fit under that ceiling, which pushes your contract price lower still.
Wholesale offer example
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| ARV | $289,900 |
| 70% of ARV − repairs ($23,000) | $179,930 |
| Your assignment fee | − $9,000 |
