# DealRivet

> DealRivet is an all-in-one CRM for real estate wholesalers. It connects property and equity research, sold comps, seller texting, a business email inbox, wholesale and novation contract templates for all 50 states, PDF editing, addendums, online signing, buyer deal sheets and title research in one deal workspace.

DealRivet is web software for real estate wholesalers, from solo investors on their first deal to teams with acquisitions and disposition staff. It runs in the browser; there is nothing to install.

Key facts:
- One plan: new customers pay US $49.99 for the first month, then US $99.99 per month. Verifying your email opens the workspace with sample leads before you pay.
- Every workspace includes its own business email address and inbox at no extra cost.
- Wholesale purchase agreement and conditional novation templates cover all 50 US states and D.C. Drafts still need review against state requirements before signing.
- The PDF editor, addendum generator and online signing are part of the workspace, not separate subscriptions.
- Texting requires separate approval and prepaid credits. Paid buyer research uses research credits at US $1 per credit, quoted before each action.

## What wholesalers can do in DealRivet

- **Property lookup**: Know the equity before you call. Type any address to see estimated value, mortgage balance, equity and owner details, so your time goes to sellers with room to make a deal.
- **Comps & ARV**: Offer with numbers you can defend. Pull nearby sold homes, keep the comps that fit and set your ARV. Repairs, your fee and the buyer price work out in one calculation.
- **Lead intake & pipeline**: Every lead lands in one place. Import a CSV, connect your website form or share a hosted seller form. Duplicates get flagged, and each lead moves through clear stages to closing.
- **Seller texting**: The conversation sits next to the deal. Text sellers from the CRM with their notes, numbers and history beside the thread. Today shows who replied and who is waiting on you.
- **Business email inbox**: Your own business email, included. Every workspace gets its own email address and inbox. Send offers and deal sheets, receive photos and documents, and save attachments straight to the lead.
- **Follow-ups & appointments**: Warm sellers don’t go cold. Give every lead a next step and a date. Today brings it back when it’s due, and walkthroughs and closings sit on your calendar with the notes attached.
- **Contracts for all 50 states**: Draft the contract while you’re on the call. Wholesale purchase agreements and novation plans for all 50 states and D.C. fill in from the lead, so there’s no template pack to buy. Review the terms and send.
- **Novation plans**: A second way to make the numbers work. When a cash offer won’t fit, plan a conditional novation: enter the seller’s net and resale price and see your projected proceeds.
- **Online signing**: Get it signed without another app. Email signing links from the deal, watch each signature come in and keep the signed copy with the property.
- **PDF editor & addendums**: Change the paperwork, not your software. Edit text, forms and pages in any PDF. When a date moves, draft the addendum, sign it and send it to the seller to sign online.
- **Seller photos & disclosures**: Photos without the back-and-forth. Send the seller an upload link or disclosure request. They answer from their phone without an account, and it all lands on the property.
- **Find buyers**: See who’s buying near your deal. Find investors who bought nearby, pull their contact details with research credits and save the best ones to your buyer list.
- **Deal sheets & offers**: Send the deal to buyers in one go. Build a PDF deal sheet with photos, your numbers and nearby sales linked to Zillow, send it to matching buyers and track every offer.
- **Find title companies**: Line up the closing office early. Find title and closing offices near the property, check the state’s closing guidance and save your pick to the deal.
- **Team access**: Bring your team in as you grow. Invite employees with their own logins and give them Leads, Disposition or both. Business settings stay with you.

## Wholesaling answers

General real estate wholesaling questions, one page each, with the direct answer first. Full text of every answer: https://dealrivet.com/llms-full.txt

### Basics

- [What is real estate wholesaling?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-real-estate-wholesaling): Real estate wholesaling is a strategy where an investor puts a home under contract with a seller at a discount, then sells that contract to a cash buyer for a fee, without buying the property themselves. The wholesaler earns the difference between the two prices, called the assignment fee.
- [How does wholesaling work, step by step?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-does-wholesaling-work-step-by-step): A wholesaler finds a motivated seller, works out the home’s after-repair value and repair costs, signs a purchase agreement at a price that leaves room for a buyer and a fee, finds a cash buyer, and then assigns the contract or arranges a double close. A title company or closing attorney completes the sale.
- [Is wholesaling real estate legal?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/is-wholesaling-real-estate-legal): Wholesaling is generally legal in the United States when you are honest about your role, your contract allows assignment, and you follow your state’s rules. Some states regulate it directly or require a license, so the answer depends on where the property is and how often you wholesale.
- [How much do real estate wholesalers make?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-much-do-wholesalers-make): Wholesale fees range from a few thousand dollars to $15,000 or more per deal, depending on the market and the property, and income is uneven because some months have no closings. Marketing, data and deposits come out of that fee, so profit per deal is lower than the headline number.
- [Can you wholesale real estate with no money?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/can-you-wholesale-real-estate-with-no-money): You can wholesale without money for the purchase, because the cash buyer funds the closing, but not with zero money. You still pay for lead marketing, property data, contract and signing tools, and sometimes an earnest money deposit that is refundable during your inspection period.
- [Do you need a real estate license to wholesale?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/do-you-need-a-real-estate-license-to-wholesale): In most states you do not need a license to sell your own contract rights, but some states now require one or limit how often you can wholesale without it. A licensed agent or attorney in the property’s state can tell you what applies to you.
- [What is the difference between wholesaling and flipping?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/wholesaling-vs-flipping): A wholesaler sells the contract and never owns the home, while a flipper buys the property, renovates it and sells it to a retail buyer. Wholesaling needs less capital and carries less risk per deal but earns a smaller fee; flipping needs funding and renovation work and keeps the whole profit.
- [What is an assignment fee?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-an-assignment-fee): An assignment fee is the money a wholesaler earns for transferring their right to buy a property to another buyer. It is the difference between the price the wholesaler agreed with the seller and the price the end buyer pays.
- [Assignment vs. double close: what is the difference?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/assignment-vs-double-close): In an assignment the wholesaler transfers their contract to the end buyer and is paid a fee at one closing. In a double close the wholesaler buys the property in one closing and sells it to the end buyer in a second, so the end buyer’s price is separate from what the seller receives.
- [What is a novation in real estate wholesaling?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-a-novation-in-real-estate-wholesaling): In wholesaling, a novation is a strategy where you sign an agreement with the seller, who keeps owning the home, then list it and sell it at a higher price to a retail buyer, keeping the difference as your fee. A novation replaces one party in a contract with another.

### Numbers

- [What is ARV in real estate?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-arv): ARV, or after-repair value, is what a property is expected to sell for once it has been renovated to a typical market standard. Wholesalers and flippers use it to decide how much a deal can support.
- [How do you calculate ARV?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-calculate-arv): Find three to five recent sales of similar renovated homes close to the property, adjust each for meaningful differences such as size, bedrooms and condition, and average the results. The result is your ARV estimate.
- [What is the 70% rule in real estate?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-the-70-percent-rule): The 70% rule says an investor should pay no more than 70% of a property’s after-repair value minus the cost of repairs. Wholesalers also subtract their own fee to find the most they can offer the seller.
- [How do you calculate the maximum allowable offer (MAO)?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-calculate-maximum-allowable-offer): Multiply the ARV by the percentage your buyers need, usually around 70%, then subtract the repair costs and your wholesale fee. That number is the most you can offer the seller and still leave room for the buyer and for yourself.
- [How do you choose good comps for a wholesale deal?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-choose-comparable-sales): Good comps are recent, close and similar: sold in the last three to six months, usually within a mile, and matching the property’s size, type, age, bedrooms and bathrooms. For ARV, use sales of renovated homes bought by regular buyers, not distressed or investor sales.
- [How do you estimate repair costs on a wholesale deal?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-estimate-repair-costs): Walk the property, or review photos, and list what each area needs: roof, systems, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, windows and exterior. Price each item with local contractor costs, then add a 10% to 20% contingency for surprises.

### Sellers and buyers

- [How do you find motivated sellers?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-find-motivated-sellers): Motivated sellers are people who need to sell quickly or simply, such as owners facing foreclosure, inherited properties, landlords tired of a rental, or owners with a home that needs major repairs. Direct mail, driving for dollars, a seller website form, referrals and outreach to targeted lists all reach them.
- [How should you follow up with seller leads?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-follow-up-with-seller-leads): Give every lead a next step and a date, contact them again on a steady schedule, and record what the seller told you each time. Most deals come from leads that took several conversations, so organized follow-up matters more than the first call.
- [How do you find cash buyers?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-find-cash-buyers): Find investors who have bought nearby recently using public purchase records, then reach them directly. Real estate investor meetups, online investor groups, other wholesalers, hard-money lenders and your own past buyers are also good sources.
- [How do you build a cash buyers list?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-build-a-cash-buyers-list): Record every buyer with what they buy, where, at what price and how they close, then keep it current and send only deals that fit. A smaller list of buyers who close is worth more than a large list of names.
- [What is disposition in wholesaling?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-disposition-in-wholesaling): Disposition is the work of selling your contract to an end buyer: matching the deal to the right buyers, sending them the numbers and photos, handling their questions and showings, and getting one to commit to closing.
- [What is a deal sheet for cash buyers?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-a-deal-sheet-for-cash-buyers): A deal sheet is a one-page summary of a wholesale deal sent to buyers. It shows the address, photos, asking price, estimated ARV, repair estimate, comps and the closing timeline, without exposing your seller’s private details or your fee.

### Contracts and disclosures

- [What should a wholesale purchase agreement include?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-should-a-wholesale-purchase-agreement-include): A wholesale purchase agreement should name the buyer and seller, identify the property, state the price and closing date, allow assignment, set an earnest money amount, give you an inspection period to find a buyer, and include the disclosures your state requires. Have a local attorney review it.
- [What is earnest money in wholesaling?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-earnest-money-in-wholesaling): Earnest money is a deposit the buyer puts down to show good faith when signing a purchase agreement. In wholesaling it is usually modest, held by a title company or attorney, and credited toward the price at closing, or returned if you cancel within your inspection period.
- [What is an inspection period in a wholesale contract?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-an-inspection-period-in-a-wholesale-contract): An inspection period, also called due diligence, is a set number of days after signing when the buyer can inspect the property and cancel the contract and recover their deposit. Wholesalers use it to find an end buyer without being locked into the purchase.
- [What is a lead-based paint disclosure?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-a-lead-based-paint-disclosure): A lead-based paint disclosure is a federal requirement for homes built before 1978. The seller must disclose any known lead-based paint or hazards, the buyer must receive the EPA’s lead pamphlet, and both sign an acknowledgment before the buyer is bound by the contract.
- [What is a seller’s property disclosure?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-a-seller-property-disclosure): A seller’s property disclosure is a questionnaire where the seller states what they know about the home’s condition, such as roof, plumbing, flooding or past repairs. Many states require one, and even when not required it helps buyers and protects the seller.
- [Are electronic signatures legal for real estate contracts?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/are-electronic-signatures-legal-for-real-estate-contracts): Yes. The federal ESIGN Act and state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act make electronic signatures valid for most real estate contracts, as long as the parties agreed to sign electronically and the signature is linked to the document and the signer.
- [What is an addendum in a real estate contract?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-an-addendum-in-real-estate): An addendum is a document added to an existing contract that changes or adds a term, such as a new closing date, price, or contingency. Both parties must sign it for the change to take effect.

### Closing and tools

- [How do you choose a title company for a wholesale deal?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-choose-a-title-company-for-a-wholesale-deal): Choose a title company or closing attorney that has handled assignments or double closes before, will explain their process in advance, and holds your deposit safely. Ask directly whether they close wholesale deals, because some will not.
- [What happens at closing on a wholesale deal?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-happens-at-closing-on-a-wholesale-deal): The title company or closing attorney confirms the title is clear, collects the end buyer’s funds, pays the seller the agreed price and any liens, and pays the wholesaler’s fee. Documents are signed, the deed is recorded, and the buyer takes ownership.
- [What is equity and why does it matter to wholesalers?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-is-equity-and-why-does-it-matter-to-wholesalers): Equity is the property’s value minus what is owed on it. Wholesalers look for high-equity homes because the seller can accept a discounted price and still be paid off, which leaves room for a buyer and a fee.
- [What should you look for in a wholesaling CRM?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/what-to-look-for-in-a-wholesaling-crm): A wholesaling CRM should hold leads with notes and follow-up dates, show property and equity data, run comps and deal math, create contracts, handle signing, and manage your buyer list. The fewer separate tools you copy deals between, the less time and data you lose.
- [How do you start wholesaling real estate?](https://dealrivet.com/wholesaling/how-to-start-wholesaling-real-estate): Learn your state’s rules, pick one market, set up a way to track leads, find your first sellers, build a short list of cash buyers, and have a local attorney or title company review your contract. Then work your first deals carefully rather than quickly.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is DealRivet?

DealRivet is an all-in-one CRM for real estate wholesalers. It connects property and equity research, sold comps, seller texting, a business email inbox, wholesale and novation contract templates for all 50 states, PDF editing, addendums, online signing, buyer deal sheets and title research in one deal workspace.

### How is DealRivet different from using separate wholesaling tools?

Most wholesalers combine a property-data site, a comps tool, a texting app, an email account, contract templates, a PDF editor and an e-signing service, then copy the same deal into each one. DealRivet keeps those jobs in one workspace organized around the property, so seller notes, conversations, deal numbers, documents and buyers stay on the same record. Contract templates for all 50 states and D.C., the PDF editor, addendums and online signing are part of the workspace. Texting and paid research keep their own approval and prepaid credits.

### Does DealRivet include a business email address?

Yes. Each workspace gets its own business email address at dealrivet.com with an inbox, threads, attachments and a Files view, at no extra cost. Send offers and deal sheets, receive photos and documents, and save attachments to the lead they belong to. Production sending and receiving use the connected email service; the local preview saves messages without delivering them.

### Who is DealRivet built for?

DealRivet is built for solo real estate wholesalers and businesses that want property details, seller notes, deal numbers, buyers, and paperwork together. Owners can invite employees with separate logins and choose Leads, Disposition, or both. Disposition access focuses on signed deals and buyers, while the owner controls team and business settings.

### Can DealRivet show a property's mortgage balance and equity?

Property lookup can return available estimated mortgage balance, value, equity, recorded ownership, and property facts through the connected data source. Coverage varies, and a missing field stays missing. These are research estimates; confirm current loan payoffs, liens, and ownership with the appropriate source before relying on them for a transaction.

### How does DealRivet help me compare wholesaling and novation?

Use the available mortgage and equity estimates to screen the opportunity, then enter your deal assumptions. Wholesale numbers connect purchase price, repairs, and projected assignment fee. The conditional novation plan records seller proceeds, target resale price, commissions, and other selling costs. You choose the route after reviewing the numbers and applicable requirements; the CRM does not guarantee that either route is viable.

### Are wholesale and novation contract templates included?

Yes. The generator includes wholesale purchase-agreement drafts and conditional novation/resale-plan drafts for one to four residential units in all 50 states and D.C., populated from saved seller, property, and deal details. You do not need to buy a separate template pack to use these included drafts. A separate assignment agreement and later replacement-buyer novation documents are not currently generated.

### Can I email contracts for online signing?

Yes. Once you have reviewed the agreement and confirmed it, DealRivet emails it as a PDF to each recipient. Each recipient receives an individual link to review and sign, and the CRM retains signing progress and completed copies. You are responsible for your contract terms; DealRivet provides templates and e-signing, not legal advice. Sending requires the email connection. Local preview does not send real invitations.

### What happens after I create an account?

Verify your email and your workspace opens right away with sample leads, so you can look around before you pay. Adding your own leads, running property lookups and sending documents begin when you start your plan: US $49.99 for the first month, then US $99.99 per month. Starting the plan clears the sample leads.

### Is texting included with signup?

Texting requires separate approval and prepaid credits. Sending also depends on a configured business number, provider registration, recipient consent, and the workspace's spending settings. Account approval alone does not enable texting.

### How do I bring my leads into DealRivet?

You can add leads manually, review and import a CSV list, or save a property lookup to your pipeline. Imports show validation and duplicate-address issues before saving. Connect your existing website form to your workspace using a private server connection, or create an optional hosted seller form and share or embed it. Submissions record their source and arrival date; possible duplicates go to a review queue.

### How do seller notes and follow-ups stay connected?

A lead holds seller notes, stage history, a next action, and a follow-up date. Today surfaces scheduled follow-ups and sellers waiting for a reply, so you can reopen the property or conversation and continue the work. Automated outreach sequences and scheduled message delivery are planned separately.

### Can I review comps and calculate a buyer asking price?

Yes. Review nearby sold-property evidence and filter by sale date, distance, size, and property type. Deal numbers let you enter the purchase price, repair estimate, and projected fee and keep the resulting buyer asking price with the lead. Valuation evidence supports your analysis; it is not an appraisal or a guarantee of resale value.

### How does buyer matching work?

Save your buyer network with markets, budgets, contact details, and strategy. The current matching suggestions use saved market and budget information; strategy can be filtered by the user. Prepare a deal package, select recipients, and record interest or offers. You can also record property types, minimum budget, repair limits, bedrooms, and closing timeline, and import your buyer list from CSV. Matching suggestions currently use market and budget; review the additional criteria yourself when qualifying a buyer.

### How do buyer research and research credits work?

Find buyers searches purchase records around a property. Review purchase activity, retrieve available contacts, and save prospects to your buyer network. US $1 buys 1 research credit. The exact price of discovery or contact research is shown for confirmation before spending. Paid use requires a connected data source, configured action prices, payments, and the owner’s permission. Research credits and messaging credit are separate balances. Past purchase activity does not guarantee current interest, and contact data does not establish communication consent.

### Can DealRivet help me find a title company?

Find title companies researches public company websites for the property’s city and state and shows available office contact details and source links. State closing guidance helps you check attorney involvement. Confirm directly that the chosen office handles your specific wholesale or novation transaction, then save its contact with the lead. A search listing does not certify transaction acceptance.

### When does a lead leave New?

Opening a lead or saving notes leaves it in New. Mark contacted moves a New lead to Contacting. Each lead shows when it arrived, such as 1 hour ago or 2 days ago, with the exact received date available. Older records without a recorded arrival time show that the date is unknown.

### How do I give employees access?

The workspace owner enters an employee’s first name, last name and email, chooses Leads, Disposition, or both, and sends an invitation. The employee uses the invitation link to create a password for that email. Owners can change permissions or remove access. Employee permissions are checked by the server for data and actions, and research-credit spending is controlled separately.

### Does DealRivet include a PDF editor?

Yes. The workspace includes PDF text, font, form, annotation, and page tools, plus scanned-text recognition where supported. Save edited documents to the workspace library. The PDF editor and addendum draft generator are part of the workspace rather than separate editor subscriptions.

### Can I prepare an addendum when a contract term changes?

The addendum generator can use a selected source clause to prepare a draft for a changed date or agreed term, citing the paragraph it changes. You can sign the addendum as the buyer and email the seller a private link; the seller types their name to sign, the dates and initials fill in, and both parties receive the signed PDF with an electronic signature record. Review the draft against the original contract and applicable requirements before sending.

### Can I send buyers a deal sheet with comps?

Yes. The Buyers tab builds a PDF deal sheet with property photos, your asking price, ARV and repair estimate, and the nearby sales you select, each linked to its Zillow page. Pull comps from the workspace's property data or import a comps CSV, choose up to 12, then email the sheet to selected buyers from your business inbox. Texting buyers requires separate approval and prepaid credits.

### How do sellers send property photos?

Create a photo request from the lead and email the seller an upload link through the connected email service. The seller can upload supported photos without a CRM account, and the files stay attached to the property. The upload screen shows the supported formats and limits.

### Can I email a property disclosure request to a seller?

Yes. Send a seller questionnaire request from the Documents section, collect the seller's responses and signature, and retain the completed PDF with the lead. This questionnaire is supplemental; it does not replace any prescribed state disclosure form or required transaction disclosure.

### Are the contracts automatically approved for every state and title company?

No. The draft library has state-specific purchase and conditional novation templates, but template availability is not legal approval. The final packet has a review gate for state requirements and the selected closing arrangement. The applicable attorney, title, disclosure, and transaction requirements must be addressed before the packet is approved for signing.

### Is my business data kept in its own workspace?

Each customer receives a separate workspace. Leads, buyers, documents, and customer actions are scoped to that workspace. DealRivet is separate from the owner's AZ Home Cash panel; that panel's leads and messaging numbers do not feed into customer workspaces.

### Can I make calls directly from DealRivet?

DealRivet does not offer in-app calling. You can keep appointment details, notes, and follow-ups with your lead, and use your own phone service for calls.

### How much does DealRivet cost?

DealRivet has one plan. New customers pay US $49.99 for the first month, then US $99.99 per month, and can cancel anytime. The plan includes the CRM, property research, comps and deal math, contract templates and online signing, the PDF editor and addendums, your business email inbox and team logins. Texting requires separate approval and prepaid credits. Research credits cost US $1 per credit for buyer research and repair estimates, with each action quoted before confirmation.

### What if paid buyer research returns incorrect information?

Submit a refund request for the paid research action and describe the incorrect record or unreachable number. The platform owner reviews the request before deciding. Approved requests return the action’s research credits. A denial includes a verification explanation, the check time, and a link to supporting proof. Submitting a request does not automatically refund credits or money.

### How large can my uploaded documents be?

Private deal files and PDFs can be up to 20 MB each. The PDF workspace supports documents up to 200 pages. Workspace storage limits and supported formats are shown during upload. Documents remain scoped to your workspace.
