An assignment fee the end buyer can actually close
Illustrative wholesale screen. Your contract is $150,000. You want a $12,000 fee, so the end buyer price is $162,000. Their repairs are $40,000 and their ARV is $280,000. Selling costs at 8% of ARV are $22,400. They still need financing, holding costs, and profit.
End buyer price$162,000
70% rule ceiling for that buyer$156,000
Fee that fits the 70% screen$6,000, not $12,000

DecisionCut the fee, cut the contract, or do not assign it
A fee that looks fine on your side can erase the buyer's spread. The wholesale assignment calculator solves the end buyer price, your net, and the fee that still leaves their target profit. Use it before you market the contract.
Common questions
What this strategy page will and will not decide for you.
What is a wholesale assignment fee?
The amount added between your purchase contract and the price the end buyer pays. Your net is that fee minus costs you do not recover. It is not the same as the profit the end buyer hopes to make.
Should the fee ignore the buyer's repairs?
No. The buyer is underwriting a flip or a hold. If their maximum purchase is below your contract plus fee, you do not have an assignable deal yet.
Is this legal advice on assignments?
No. Contract language, licensing, and disclosure rules vary by state. Have a local real estate attorney review how you assign or double-close.
What belongs in the buyer package?
Address facts, comps you actually used, a repair scope, photos, and the price. Leave out unsupported ARV claims.
Where do I track the seller follow-up?
On the property, with a next action. The four-stage pipeline guide is the operating cadence. The calculator is the fee math.
Keep the numbers, work, files, and outcome connected.
