I did it!!!

Can you share with us how you close the deal?

It was a short sale. After a little trial and error I found a local investor mentor type who guided me through negotiating with the bank and funded the deal. I highly recommend a local mentor for us newbies.

MAN that is so inspiring..... how long of a process was involved. anyway congratulations and on to the next........

all the best,

Congratulations to you!

Good job! The first step is always the hardest! And in your case, you definitely started with one of the more difficult techniques!

I found my mentor on Craigslist!! Lol believe it or not. I had some bad luck at first looking and met a couple of local investors but didn't feel the fit was right. I answered an ad and we hit it off. I honestly feel I needed a mentor to get started. Good luck!!

awesome job!!! Keep up the hard work. Thanks for sharing:)

Short sales can be great and they can be a pain as well. I'm glad you had a good experience. I been on both sides of it and you really learn patience when delay after delay comes your way but I like them too much to stop. Good luck on your future deals!

Way to go Anthony! I agree...mentors help a lot!!

Wow! Doing a short sale sounds interesting! Great job on the deal and on finding a mentor!!

the first deal will get you fired up to go out and get many more!!! Keep the momentum going, it will get your through any obstacles on your journey!
Wishing you continued success!

Congratulations!!
That is great! Still working on our first deal and would like some insight (from anyone that also maybe reading this)

Found a property that has about a 27% Return On Investment
We’re selling it for $35K Cash, which is considerably low for the type of property it is. It's a really great buy & hold property.
I'm guessing we just need stronger cash buyers outside of the area with more cash? Not sure.

But the property rents well & consistently between $800-$1000/mo (records to prove so, as well as a current waiting list for approved tenants to move in)
It's literally move-in ready for tenants.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to market this deal?
We've done bandit signs, newspaper ads, craiglist, collaborated with fellow wholesalers etc.. and still nothing seems to be coming together especially with this being the type of deal it is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Congratulations on completing your first deal!!! Your persistence sure did pay off!

Now your level of confidence will keep rising along with the drive to DO MORE!!!!!

Hit it!!

Short sales can be such a pain, congratulations! Mentors cut your learning time by half at least!

On to the next one!

Congratulations on getting over the first-deal hump! We just closed our first and second deal in July and are still looking for three and four and five....

Our deals would never have gotten made without folks that new what they were doing when we didn't. I am a big proponent of mentor-ing mindsets. Folks here at DG were really patient when I asked questions, and they were very generous with their know how. In fact many of them have already reached out to you!

Again congratulations! Keep it up!

Congrats Anthony,thats a great encouragement for me as I am stil working towards my first deal. All the best for your future deals.

We are still working toward our first deal. I know we need to plugging away.
Great job and we hope you have many more

Congrats on the first one!

This is incredible! So great to see a success like this as we are just getting started in this program and learning it all! Beakman18 - go forth and conquer... more!

Nice job!!!!!! Congatulations on getting over the hurdle!! First one is the hardest to put behind you. You were wise in seeking a mentor and can see how important it is to go FASTER!! To learn quicker!!
Jay

yes a mentor would be good, I'm trying to find one.

Good job on making 4K on your first deal. Dean's success academy really helps with every step. Keep up the good work and keep the DG family posted on your success.

I see that there are students on this string still looking forward to their first deal.

The excitement of that first deal is amazing. It's great when people share about it on this site because people GET it. Everyone on this site gets it because they are working hard toward it or they have been there.

I hope that it encourages those that are still working their way toward that goal, and that it helps them to realize that the tools are available and accessible. The techniques that Dean teaches work!!!

Keep at it...don't give up!!! Know that you will be sharing about your first deal and encouraging others too!

Success to all

Julie
