OfflineI jumped in the game 2 months ago and last week listened to a replay of Indaiana Joe and Dean talking about estate sales on craigslist. Well I took action and sent out 64 emails to estate sales with Joe's verbage and low and behold I have gotten 6 responses, 1 already had a buyer, I sent back that they can use me as a back up plan, 2 had property not for sale, 1 wants to know what I need from him, 1 still cleaning out house will then call me,and 1 already put it on the market, I am waiting to find out who the agent is. And finally another response to my new google voice set up stating they had a client that has her mother going into senior living and she was here from CA cleaning out the house and the house is in Wisconsin which is also where I am from. She wants to get back home and is looking for a fast sale to a investor. I went to the house and gave a formal/and verbal offer. I am now waiting for them to get back to me to get it under contract. house values at 129,000 ARV, she wanted 60k and I offered 38k. She did not bat a eye, I am stoked and all this in my first weekend in the game. I will assign the contract to another investor if I get it. This all happened because of Joe and Dean and everyone here in the DG family. I hope to meet Joe someday,,HE ROCKs!

did you have to close on the home before assigning it?
to answer your question. You don't have to close on the property to do an assignment...NOW GO GET SOME
Not having a goal is worse than not setting one..
