Proof of concept

Real properties we bought and closed

These are not sample deals. Each one below is a property Running Brook REI purchased direct from the owner — many of them in rough shape, behind on payments, or tied up in an estate. Deals like these are what the buyer list sees first.

Why buy from us

A deal sheet, not a sales pitch

Most "off-market" lists are a mailing list with a logo. Ours is a short list of buyers we actually want to work with, getting deals from a company that owns or controls every property it sends.

  • You deal with the principal

    Every deal on this list comes from a property Running Brook already owns or has under contract. No chain of wholesalers between you and the seller, and no mystery on who actually controls the deal.

  • Real numbers in the package

    Photos, a line-item repair estimate, and comparable sales. If a deal doesn't work for your buy box, we would rather you pass than waste a week of your time.

  • As-is means as-is

    We buy with tenants in place, code violations, deferred maintenance and personal property still in the house. We never hand you something we would not take on ourselves.

  • Clear title or we don't send it

    Title work starts before a property goes to the list. You see the same title commitment we do, including any liens, back taxes or open permits we found.

  • Closings that actually happen

    Our sellers are motivated, not testing the market. We close with local attorneys and title companies across every state we buy in — including remotely for out-of-state buyers.

  • First look, honest terms

    Buyer list members see deals before they are marketed anywhere else, with every detail laid out up front so you can decide fast.

What's in every deal package

Before you spend a dollar on inspection, you get the same file we used to underwrite the property ourselves.

  • 20+ photos and a full walkthrough video
  • Line-item repair estimate
  • Comparable sales and our ARV
  • Title status and any known liens
  • Access details and inspection window

Tell us your buy box once

We will only send properties that fit what you actually buy — the right markets, the right property types, the right price range and strategy. No filler, no out-of-area junk.

  • A vetted list, not a blast list

    We keep the network small on purpose so deals stay worth reading.

    New packages go out the moment a property is under contract.

  • Two minutes to join

    One buy box, saved on file. Update it any time by replying to any alert.

    We never sell, rent or share your details with other wholesalers.

Buyer questions

Straight answers before you sign up

Still have a question about how we work or what we send? Ask us directly — a real person on the team answers.

[email protected]
  • What kinds of deals do you send?

    Off-market properties we own or have under contract: single family, 2–4 unit multi-family, manufactured homes, vacant land and the occasional larger multi-unit building. Most are as-is with deferred maintenance, a tenant in place, or an estate situation behind them.

  • Do I have to buy every deal you send?

    No. Joining the list is free and there is no obligation. Pass on as many as you want — your buy box only controls what we send you, it is not a commitment to buy.

  • How fast do the good deals move?

    The strong ones go in hours, not weeks. We text the list first and give the first responder the walkthrough. If you need time to inspect, say so when you respond and we will tell you honestly whether the seller can wait.

  • Do I need proof of funds?

    Yes, for anything you want to make an offer on. A bank statement, lender letter or line-of-credit letter is enough. It protects the seller's timeline and keeps the list worth reading for everyone on it.

  • I'm out of state — can I still buy?

    Absolutely. A large share of our buyers never see the property in person. We provide video walkthroughs, contractor introductions and remote closings through title companies that handle out-of-state purchasers every day.

  • What don't you do?

    We are not agents or brokers, and we do not represent buyers on retail purchases. We purchase properties directly and then resell or assign them. If you want representation on the retail side, work with your own agent.

The next deal goes to the list before it goes anywhere else
