Acquisition Channel
The source of a deal — Wholesale, MLS, Off-Market, Auction, or Network.
Acquisition channel records where you found the deal. Each channel carries different risk and competition profiles. MLS deals face the most competition, driving prices up. Wholesale deals come pre-negotiated but include an assignment fee. Off-market deals offer the best pricing but require hustle to find. Auctions carry title and condition risk. Network deals come through relationships and vary widely. Tracking your channel mix helps you understand which sources consistently produce your best deals.
Every property in Kaison records its acquisition channel. The market intelligence engine tracks channel performance across your portfolio and the broader market to identify which channels produce the best risk-adjusted returns.
Over 10 deals, you find that wholesale deals average 72% ARV basis while MLS deals average 78%. The 6-point spread means $12,000 more equity per deal on a $200K ARV property — enough to justify the wholesaler's fee.
