Wholesaling in Corpus Christi starts with one question: how often are sellers leaving money on the table? In this market, the answer is "consistently." 67.6% of closed sales land below list, with a sale-to-list ratio of 0.977 — clear evidence that sellers are negotiating and motivated-seller direct mail has room to convert.

Disposition matters as much as sourcing. Corpus Christi buyers right now lean toward landlords and BRRRR operators — the 7.42% gross rent yield supports cash-flow underwriting, so your assignment fee competes with a real DSCR-positive deal on the buyer's side.
Net: spread is tight but real here. The arithmetic that needs to clear is the same everywhere — purchase + assignment fee + buyer's rehab + buyer's profit ≤ 70-75% of ARV — but the room to find that spread depends on whether sellers will negotiate. The data above says they will in Corpus Christi.
