WHILE THE GRINCH WAS LOOTING AS EXPECTED JAN AND JEREMY HAD OUR OFFER ACCEPTED

WHILE THE GRINCH WAS LOOTING AS EXPECTED JAN AND JEREMY HAD OUR OFFER ACCEPTED

I know, I know, it is a corny title but, Jeremy and I are in to the yuletide theme here.
After a marathon dealing day yesterday, and after 5 phone calls later to and from, Jeremy and I had our offer accepted on a 3 family with owner financing and a 5 year balloon payment.Here are the stats. The AV is 64,000 and the purchase price was 45k. Monthly expenses are 678.00 and rents total 1300.00, leaving us with a positive cash flow of $622.00 per month. The inside has been rehabed, but the outside needs siding and replacement window. Roof has got another 10 years.
This was the first deal we went after after Jeremy's mom passed away, so it was a mission for both of us. I know she is proud of her son right now.
After the 3rd set of phone calls yesterday, Jeremy was a texting machine, wanting updates etc. He got so nervous at one point that he went out to shovel driveways and made $135.00 to boot
The seller was playing hard ball through most of the negotiations, but this is the time that I love and I kept telling Jeremy that I was wearing him down and waiting for the right time to go for the kill which happened late Saturday night.
All in all it was a good day for Jeremy and I. We have another deal to go to close and another property making positive cash flow.
We told the DG family we would make you proud and we are doing it one deal at a time. After we close which should be mid January 2010, I will fill you all in on the rest of the deal which gets better thanks to Indiana Joe's CD. Thanks Joe for some very useful info.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR DG FAMILY AND THANKS TO DEAN FOR THE INSPIRATION AND GUIDANCE THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US

WE WILL MAKE YOU PROUD...JAN AND JEREMY

You outsmarted the grinch. ;-)

Hey, guys! Congrats on another great deal!! That's so awesome. I popped on the site just for a second and yours is the first post I saw.
THAT'S AMAZING! (and I like how Jeremy had the snow bonus in the middle of the deal! lol)
You guys are such a great team, and it is so great to hear of you making this happen right before Christmas. I've sure been thinking of Jeremy a lot lately and, yes how proud his mom would be right now! Smiling
Well, I know we are gonna be hearing a ton from you guys in 2010. Keep it up!! Smiling
Keep us posted as closing gets closer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both!!

Rina

Your comments mean a lot to Jeremy and I. It was a deal that had some real meaning to it. He is a REI machine, trust me. Once we latch on to a prospective deal it is like a spider that has caught a fly, sooner or later it is over.
The snow deal was so funny because when I called Jeremy to tell him the deal was ours he had just got out of the shower from shoveling driveways all day. He had some much energy built up because we were working another deal that he shoveled driveways and made a nice cash flow plus he got a bunch of free coffee from his customers because it was cold, but the funny part is he never drank coffee until he met me. I told him back months ago if we partner that he had to drink coffee with me because that is a main stay with me. Coffee and wine!!

Thank you so much for your comments and support. You,Elana, and Laura are our inner circle girls, Love Ya and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!.....JAN AND JEREMY


This is really a great deal.

This is really a great deal. And once again, CRAIGSLIST strikes again! I can not tell you how amazing craigslist is. I found the house on there, made the initial call to seller. Boy was he stubborn, but a little talking, and then sending in the troops (Jan) to wear this guy down, we have a deal! When I asked him about financing, he first said he would be open to it and could do a land contract, if the downpayment was to his liking. I said well, what are you looking for, he told me on the phone it would have to be atleast 15k down if he would hold the mortgage. I said well, that is just not in the cards, thank you for your time. Before I knew it, he was calling back looking to work with us. Here we are now, with an agreed downpayment of not even half of what he was asking.

1 unit is rented at $450, the tenant is moving in in Jan. The 2 upstairs units are vacant, they just need some cleaning, but everything is rehabed, new bathrooms, kitchens, cabinets, carpets, the works! So we agreed when we close, we will have 1 months grace period to make first payment to seller, in order to clean the units and put qualified tenants in each. As Jan said, we will contine to make the DG family proud, and my mom looking down on us proud. 2010 will be the year for Jan and I, we feel it. We are building an empire!

Rina, Cashflow

Thanks for the support. And yes, special thanks to the inner cirlce gals, Rina, Laura, Elena. We coud not have done this if it wasn't for all of you to look up to. I forgot to mention that zillow has the house valued anywhere from 96k-112k, while we both know the house is not worth that much right now, it is worth a minimum of 60k. Comps in area are mainly in the 60-70k range. We have about 20k instant equity.

Today was a very good day, and it was $150 snow shoveling money! I counted it later on and it came to $150, not a bad day at all. And the coffee was very good, really hits the spot on a freezing snow day. I know I am an investor, but I'm truly a man of the people, so I had to bust behind my behind for a day and shovel a bit, I love working hard.

We will post more details when we close this baby. Have a happy new year and Christmas DG Family.

And thanks Dean, none of this would have been possible if it was not for you! You are really a major inspiration to Jan and I!!! Thank you!

Jeremy

As always, both of you are an inspiration to me as are many other in our DG family. Congratulations on another great deal. I cannot wait to hear the details. All the best for 2010. To my DG family, Seasons Greeting and a Happy New Year to all. With a New Year comes new opportunities for all. Let's all think positive and embrace another new beginning. It is also a time like any other where we continue to give thanks for what we have achieved and what God has already planned for us in the future. God Bless.

Hey Guys

Thanks for all the congrats,Jeremy and I work great as a team. We always talk about the moves we make and neither one of us does something without telling the other, so I guess that makes our recipe for success work out so well. A scary thought though is we both think alike and have the same goals in life. There will be more as we get closer to closing I'm sure. Thanks Everone

We Will Make You Proud..........Jan


Congrats Jeremy and Jan, YOU

Congrats Jeremy and Jan, YOU guys are really kicking it into high gear!
good luck!!!
Richie.


Thanks Richie

The kudos really help since this deal was kind of special right after Jeremy's mom passed away. He doesn't stop though. Right now he is working a lease/option deal with a doctor up here in upstate. the ink wasn't dry on our last closing and we went after this present deal. We have a huge goal for 2010, so we are not stopping. Tired of working for a paycheck......Jan


Richie, Sandra, Jason, Stacey, and Joe

Thank you guys for the kind words. If it wasn't for this site and all of you guys/gals I don't know where we would be. The other night before we made this deal happen, I had a dream that Jan and I made 100k on an assignment, and we assigned the place where I am working now!

I don't want to get ahead of myself with the lease option I've been working on for a young doctor, so I won't get that far into it, but I hope Jan and I can post more about making this lease option happen soon. Might have to give Greg Murphy a call for some pointers! But we will see. I found a house with owner financing that I hope can make this another deal.

And as for my partner Jan, I have a feeling he might be able to leave his day job in this coming year. We promised eachother we would make millions!

Jeremy

Hey Dynamic Duo!!!

Way to close out 2009! Going to bring in 2010 with a BANG! So sweet of you to thank little ol' me, but you've done this yourselves my friends and we couldn't be more proud of BOTH of you or more honored to be called your friends.

I love the title since the Grinch is my favorite classic Christmas cartoon.

Keep up the great work, we ALL look up to you and you're continuously inspiring to us all!!!

Merry Christmas guys and families!
