After 11 months...

After 11 months...

Hello everyone. April next month, will be my 1st year and this morning, I finally got my First Ever Contract accepted and signed by the seller. I believe that if you only work like crazy, consistently with Burning desire and passion, ignoring all the negatives and naysayers around you will achieve whatever there is that needs to be achieved.

I drove around last week and listed 115 Vacant properties. After identifying the names and address of the owners, I send them Postcards and to my suprice, yesterday, 2 of them called. I choose the one who sounds so motivated and she's asking 19k for her property. I visited, run the numbers and countered offer for 5k and we end up 8k, more than 50% of what she's asking. ARV is 100k and needs 40k to rehab. She lives in Arizona and the property is in Baltimore Maryland but she was in Texas when we where negotiating the price by phone. I faxed the Contract to her husband in Arizona last night and got it back at 1pm today. I said i'll put up a $100 deposit to be given to my own title company.

I got 4 calls so far asking me to view the property. I have not called any of my buyers yet I put up a For Sale by Owner sign and post it on my Facebook Account. 1 rehaber from my sign called and another 3 from my facebook post. LOL This is very exciting.

Deans Book surely works 100% The knowlege I got by just reading the Forums from this site cost a fortune. Thank you so much for all the help for DG Family. LA

This is such a great example of hanging in there. It takes a lot of will power to study and read posts for that amount of time. It is obvious that you have a burning desire to succeed. Well done and much continued success...Jan


Hi Jan

Yes you are right. I can't remember how many times I was offered by a friend of mine to apply for an openning to a 9 to 5 JOB. I can't remember how many times that I almost decided to give up and grab that 9-5 opportunity thinking that "anyway, i can still do this while in working". But I know "me", I know that when I grab it, I will get distructed and can't multi task and be complacent and contented "again" to what I will be making from that 9-5. Thanks to my wife, she hang in there for me as well.

Thanks a lot Jan. LA

Congrats

Way to go on your deal, I am still working toward my first deal. My I ask how you found the owner of the vacant property. I have vacant property near me and I checked the PVA website but most of them show the vacant address as the owners address. Once again congrats and good luck on more deals. Steph


Congrats

Congrats on your first deal. If you put in the time and effort then the success and profits will come. Please post more details when you can, would love to hear more.

Thanks again for your

Thanks again for your comments.

Walkers, I did a lot of research before on how to locate the owners of a Vacant property. I just keep on navigating the website of the State where I live and finaly found it. On the search link of your State's Website, try to type Real Estate Search in zip...... then just click everything you see. Hope your state provides that link also but i'm pretty sure they have it.

Go to any local Government offices or court house and try asking the clerk. Just try everything. Good Luck. Blessings to all. LA

OK

This deal is becomming more challenging. More investors went to see the property yesterday and today. And i'm expecting to get an offer next week. One rehabber told me that we can make a deal next week but I did not pulled the property off the market yet. I need a contract from him and a 1,500 earnest money deposit. I will be $1,400 richer if for some reasons he falls out of the contract because I only give $100 EMD to the seller which did not even came out of my pocket. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks a lot for reading. Blessings to all. LA

You Go Loveme

Hey you, I know it's been a long time since I've seen you, but this sounds like a great deal indeed. It's nice to have others knocking at your door for a change, isn't it! Congrats! I'm working on a deal too. Got an estimate for repairs and other info to forward to a hard money lender for financing. I'm crunching the numbers now to get my offer price together. Hopefully this will be the one, my first "fast cash" deal. --Michael


Great to hear from you

Great to hear from you Michael. It's been a while since we talked. Let's meet each other sometimes and talk about our experience. We can compare notes with each other. Me and Verna are in constant communication since Saturday. It's good you're making something happen. Go-go-go. Blessings to all. LA

Got a Serious buyer for my

Got a Serious buyer for my first property (assignment) and I send him the contract I signed. We agreed for a fair price and we will be clossing the deal in 2 weeks.

Working out with 2 more properties and hope I can get this done next week. I will be doing Greg Murphy's style on one of them taking over the payments and I will help the owner walk away with some money in her pocket to start. I'm not yet very familiar how to work on this kind of strategy, but me and my business partner will do this anyway to prove that this really works. Got to do a lot of research on Dean's Book specially Greg's page and in this forums as well. My mind is open to any inputs about this kind of strategy, thank you in advance.

MAX, Thank you for your comment and to others. I'm so greatful to everyone

Blessings to all. LA

Congrats! Question?

So you were the contract purchaser and you sold your contract? Did you use a real estate agent to find your buyer? Thank you!


KerrinOB

No, I did not use any REA to find a buyer nor to lock the contract. The Property is now under contract with another REI Rehaber/Landlord. I'm the wholesaler. Blessing to all. LA
