OfflineToday was the big day that I did my first assignment. I had a seller contact me about selling her property, I went and looked at it, locked the property up for 5K. I marketed the house, found a buyer that wanted it, assigned it to him for 6K. Sounds simple right?? Wrong...here's a little twist on the story. The seller bought the house on contract. The seller never recorded the deed, and had lost the abstract. The house had been set to close 3 different times but something new would pop up that would prevent us from closing. So, we ordered a new abstract that the seller would have to pay for (500.00 mistake for her), then we had to record the deed that she never recorded...(42.00) for her as well. And she had some back taxes that she had to take care of...(350.00) loss for her too. But at the end of the day, I walked out with my check in hand!! 
It took awhile to get to closing, but when we did, it was a (literally) 10 minute deal.
All in all, I spent a total of around 6 hours on this property.
If I can do it....you can do it.

Failure Is Not An Option
Wow it is exciting to see success in a short amount of time.
I am a newbie just got started around 10/24 and this is my 2nd post to the forums. I finished reading Deans last two books 2 days ago and I am now on second read through, page 89 of "Profit From Real Estate Right Now". I am starting from the front and following the "action steps". My personal goal is first transaction in 30 to 45 days and 5 in 6 months.
I have spent quite a few hours watching videos, and blogs as well as reading over and exploring this site.
What a great community of like minded people! In my short time here I have seen a lot of people sharing there knowledge as well as there money to help others. The pay it forward program that you all started on behalf of Dean’s birthday is awesome. I hope to be a contributor myself in the near future.
One question I do have for you Destrie. Are you using Dean’s success academy or did you do this from the knowledge in the books?

I hope you all are having as much fun as I am and good luck!
Have a great day!

Great, Great job. you stuck with it even though the close was getting sticky. By the way where did you find this deal? I would be interested in hearing how it came about. Congrats...Jan
Wishing you the best in your business. Congratulations on your first deal!
Enjoy your holidays and be safe.

I haven't completed my first deal yet, but I think 2 months is amazing! You just started in September and have already completed your first deal - that's terrific and very inspiring!
One question...did you enroll in Dean's Success Academy or did you just use the information from the books?

That's awesome! Have you had any luck on any other deals??
There are a million reasons why you CAN'T do something. You need to find the one reason you CAN, and run with that!
It must be a great feeling.....I wish you the best in all your future deals.
Give this a chance and Live for today

I just have a question, do you mean $5k down or the price of the property?
thanks
