It has taken a year to do this deal. He's going insane.

Congrats Rando, you're persistence is paying off. Thanks for sharing your experiences from the trenches ... it's motivating.

Great job! I'm so glad to see you're doing deals in California. Was to hard to get the first deal?

I got lucky on the first batch of 200 yellow letters I sent out. Made $2,000 on a fixer flip. It wasnt as easy as I made out. Nobody would buy it, the place was so trashed. I went back to the seller and got her to lower her price. Then I was lucky to find a farmer that had access to cheap farm labor to fix the place up and then rent it to his workers. Since then I have sent out over a thousand letters and Im negotiating a few deals but, it can be discouraging sending out so many letters and not getting some fast deals, it's a lot of work. And a lot of expense. It's a gamble for sure. But Im gonna keep sending them out till I get more deals. I know it works. The seller was a sweet old lady and sent me a thankyou letter saying I was a blessing to them. That also gets me motivated. The wholesale flip deal above was found by my bird dog just driving around his town.

Way to stick with it and not give up. I can't wait to make my first deal

Persistence does pay, Way To Go! Keep up the hard work. I hear it gets easier as you prosper. I'm Proud of you all for not giving up. Hurry! Get to the next deal, we wanna hear all about them,,,

I can wait till I could say I did It, and got a house on Contract!
Thank you,

Richard A.

Way to be persistent! Keep working hard!

It's the way to go Rando, and you did it. I myself cannot wait to make my first deal. I just want to say if anyone know of any good agent please let me know. I am praying for us all to make it THERE" and we will.

Great Job

those Probate deals. Don't you? Keep it going because hard work and dedication produces results.

The 3 heirs to this deal always thought they would fix it up and flip it or rent it. They actually went in and cleaned up the place and hauled off most of the deceased property. They actually left an old piano and organ.

However the city was pressuring them to do something. An old baracuda that lives behind the property was constantly calling code enforcement complaining about the weeds and rats and the hazardous conditions. The small town enforcement officer was gracious enuf to hold off condemning the property while this probate thing was going on.

The buyers txted me to say they were trying to close the deal tomorrow, but, I'm not holding my breath. I've learned that nothing goes as planned and I'm looking at getting that big fat glorious check next week, I'll drive the 40 miles to pick it up in person. I'm gonna use a huge chunk of the profits to do more marketing, the door hangers, more bandit signs, more yellow letters and maybe get some help with all these leads. Let's make some MONEY Rando

The title company emailed me this morning and said the Iowa Notary didn't stamp the deed correctly. They over nighted the paperwork yesterday but of course it didn't get here in time to close today. Now the girl at the title company emailed to say its looking like Monday. The waiting is killing me, but u know if I've waited a year already I can certainly wait a few more days. And even though this deal has taken this long I'm sure I don't have more than a few hours working on this. I still haven't seen the house or met the sellers or my buyers, I haven't even met the bird dog that found this deal. The bird dog just called and said he's got another house, seller wants 10 k and owes 3k in back taxes. Seems the bird dog is motivated. Let's make some MONEY rando

Been through it myself. But when its finally done, its a huge relief.

You will keep on waiting and other will grab the opportunities.

Thank you very much for sharing all those great information, we are heading to deals, ^_^

I was astounded that you hung in there for a year to get the property. Congratulations! A caveat: Always remember there are LOTS of properties out there. So be cautious of spending too much time on any one deal. I've been a professional monopoly player for almost 40 years so I probably have more contacts than you do. But I don't want to spend 50 hours on one deal, which may or may not be successful, when that same amount of time would cover 4 or 5 other deals. Keep on writing offers! Practice makes perfect! Mary

That's so awesome, Randy! Congratulations!
Your persistence wasn't in vain after all. Keep going, man, you're on a roll!
As the saying goes: "Every seller becomes 'motivated' with time and circumstance!"

PS. I'd be motivated, too, if you were splitting your profit 50/50 with me!
Sounds more like co-wholesaling revenue! LOL ~Very generous of you.

That's great, Congrats. This is how things work out.
