In this episode of Real Talk with REsimpli, we sit down with Ty Franklin, a professional wholesaler and novation expert who has closed hundreds of deals and helped thousands of investors level up through real, in-the-trenches experience.
Ty breaks down what truly separates good wholesalers from great ones, starting with systems, consistency, and seller conversations that actually lead to signed contracts. We dive deep into wholesaling vs. novations, how to present multiple offers to sellers, and why owning the transaction process (especially with title companies) is critical to getting deals across the finish line.
You’ll also hear Ty’s honest journey from landing his first $3,000 deal to building repeatable processes, hiring help, expanding into recession-proof businesses like roofing, and navigating increasing wholesaling regulations with strategies like double closings, licensing, and creative finance.
