Over 600 Deals Completed!

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to put out a little post today to update you on my progress and to also give you an idea of where you can be in a few short years.

I have completed more than 600 deals since I first started over 5 years ago. Actually my first deal was on November 10th 2005. Life was very difficult my first 3 years. I sold out myself to real estate and decided if I was going to do this then I wanted to be the best. I wanted to go fast! So I decided to go "all in". And let me tell you that I gave real estate absolutely everything I've got! Many, many days during those first 3 years I came up empty handed after a 40 hour work weekend. Yes I put in 40 hours of work each weekend when you considered my drive time. It was tough back then, we were at the peak of the market and people would actually laugh at my low offers because most houses were selling for OVER asking price. They thought I was a joke. But I just kept submitting offers and kept looking at more and more properties. There was absolutely no way possible I could be denied. I wasn't going to let them get the best of me. I was NOT going to give up. I wasn't going to quit until I was a success. Fast forward nearly 6 years....

My hard work has paid off. Life is actually pretty easy. I have to challenge myself constantly just so I don't get soft. I drive a bright orange Lamborghini now and I live in one of the tallest buildings in the world, Trump Tower in Chicago on the 52nd floor. I have a watch collection of Rolexes and Breitlings valued at over $100,000 and growing....I go on a week vacation every single month and I absolutely love my free time, which was why I got into real estate in the first place. Nobody ever tells me what to do--EVER! People are asking when Im going to slow down and I always say NEVER! 600 hundred deals isn't enough. I want more. I want to keep getting better. I have a lot to learn. I want to continue to grow. I am a work in progress.

I think about that little 300 square foot apartment I lived in when I first got started in real estate. I should call the owner and buy it:) Especially since he told me "I wasn't cut out for real estate"

Don't ever let somebody tell you that you aren't cut out for real estate! Go out there and win! Then maybe someday we can be neighbors in the most expensive place to live in Chicago-- Trump Tower. Hurry up! Go faster! Work harder!

Get it done!!!
