OfflineThis was a 3/2 sf that the seller had listed for $125K with an ARV of $149k. He had done all of the rehab ( kitchen,bath, paint,etc:) except for the carpet. We negotiated the deal down to $85.3k and got it under contract. I assigned the deal the next day to one of my buyers for $95k. The whole deal took 3hrs to include walking the property. BOY-O-BOY does this stuff work!! Hope to have deal #2 by the week end. THANK YOU DEAN AND THE SUCCESS ACADEMY!!

Just finished reading your post. Great job! I am new here and really want to focus on doing the same thing. Look for homes and put them under contract. My only concern is where to look for buyers. Again, keep up the great work and good luck with second deal!
This is my incentive for potential buyers and sellers!

Hello David,
My best advice on getting your buyers list is to go to Google Maps and type in your city and then in the search bar "WE BUY HOUSES" you will get numerous leads. Also look on Craigs list for the same search. I picked up 56 buyers useing this method.
Great job Mark!!! Way to go!!!
Nothin to it but to do it!
Nicely done!
God bless,
Jen
Thanks Jen, anybody can do this, I garoooonty girl.
do let us know if you get your deal #2 this weekend; that is so exiting! sounds like everything is falling into place for you now...
wishing you continued success,
Valerie

Mark! You did great with your first deal!(: was the negotiation on the sell price with the seller hard or did they just take your first offer?
On to the next deal! Success to US all!

Don't Stop!!!!
Awesome first deal Mark H! I am sooo jealous. Keep it up--
awesome percentage discount on asking, too; 68%.
Mine average 69%, but my fees only average $3400 (then again my deals are mostly under $50's)... I think it's in my genes to work hard, not smart. Trying to change that with you smart guys here on DG.
Go get 'em!

Thanks guys for your kind remarks. And no Robert, he didn't take my first offer which was $78k but when he countered with a $20k drop it was aparent he needed out of the property.
Hey Mark,
CONGRATZ!!!! thats so awesome: ) one question how did you find the seller? FSBO? Realtor? Craigslist?
with gratitude,
Makeba
When you say thank you, you are telling the world that you want more. Say thank you every day! It will bring joy, and it will bring so much more.

Hey Mark,
I know you didnt mean to, but Im sure glad you did! I haven't made my first deal yet. Ive been trying to read posts and forums to catch that inspiration that I need. And its not all lack of motivation. Its also, some part fear, some part being a little shy. But your post, I know it didnt say much and you probably didnt mean it to but those words were exactly what I needed to hear. This week, Im getting it done. Thank you again sir. You really are inspiring!

congratulations Mark.
Thanks for the advice Mark, please let us know when the second deal gets done!

hey,im new to this too and it hard getting buyers list in this town realtors wont giv out names n going on line looking for taxes cant do it here either,so what im doing is getting a list of homes that were purchase 60 days ago by cash only.no names on them but u get what they bought it for and the area.then i go down to the records and look up the properties n see were the taxes are being sent to. i even talk to other realtors who works with investors or who no's somebody that does and let them no that u have some great deals comming up would they be interested in them.that is what im doing too. steve
This was a listing that I got from my Realtor. One red flag was the fact that they were selling $25k under the ARV after just doing alot of rehab.
Sean, you can do this. Don't feel like you have to know everything about investing to be able to talk to buyers. A true buyer/investor will allways welcome the oppertunity for someone to help them make more $$.
yep, just like Mark H did it, step off that curb, say very little and listen-- you'll get over that first fear and the deal will come. That's how it went for me-- I was shy too and afraid and thought I needed to know and understand more, but just do.
Manifest.
You can do it!
Again, great job Mark, do it again. And, to those who haven't quite done it yet do it, do it, do it!
We're all here to help.

Keep up the good work.And be sure to keep us posted on the next ONES.
Tina's right, you have to start!! The pain of not getting started when you know you can do this is worse than if you try and fail. At least if you try and fail, you educated yourself on what not to do next time. And with all of our DG family members to fall back on, failing has been all but eliminated. I just received an e-mail from my Realtor that I have an offer accepted, so we'll see where this goes. Guys, you can do this!!
Yeah, tell your Relator congrats and seal the deal.
Woo-hoo!
