How to Get Paid in Wholesaling (Without Messing It Up)

Your Assignment Fee Is Real Money — Here’s How to Make Sure You Get It

You’ve got a property under contract.
You’ve found a cash buyer.
Everyone’s ready to move forward.

So how do you actually get paid — and make sure you don’t fumble it at the finish line?

Here’s exactly how wholesalers get paid (and the critical steps you need to take so your money shows up at closing — not in someone else’s pocket).

Step 1: Use a Solid Assignment Agreement

You’re not selling the property — you’re assigning your rights under the original purchase contract.

To get paid, you need a clear, written Assignment of Contract that spells out:

• The address of the property

• The assignment fee you’re owed

• Who is responsible for closing costs

• The closing date

• And who is paying whom — when and how

If you skip this step or try to “handshake” it, don’t be surprised when things fall apart.

Use Doc’s assignment agreement from the program and make sure everyone signs.

Step 2: Work with the Right Title Company

Not every title company understands wholesaling.
Some will try to block it, question it, or even make up “rules” that don’t exist.

That’s why this step matters:

Always work with an investor-friendly title company.

If you’re in the full version of Doc’s program, you get exclusive access to his personal title company — the same one his family, mentees, and students use. ($250 a month value)

• They understand wholesaling
• They’ll handle the paperwork
• And they’ll make sure you get paid on time

Step 3: Get Your Assignment Fee on the HUD Statement

The HUD-1 settlement statement (or Closing Disclosure) is the official breakdown of who gets what at closing.

Your assignment fee needs to be listed as a line item, like this:

“Assignment Fee to [Your Name] – $10,000”

This makes your payout crystal clear, legally documented, and traceable.

The title company will cut you a check (or wire your funds) at closing.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Pretend You’re the Buyer

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make?

Trying to pose as the actual buyer — then getting stuck when it’s time to close.

Be transparent.
Let the seller know you're working with other investors.
Make sure your paperwork says you have the right to assign the contract.

That’s how you stay legal, professional, and protected.

Wholesaling Is Real — But Only If You Get Paid

A lot of beginners get excited about finding deals… but forget that closing is where it counts.

• You don’t need to swing a hammer.
• You don’t need to get a loan.
• You don’t need to own the house.

But you do need to follow the right process to get paid — clean, legal, and in writing.
