Hi
I have been a DG student since 10/2008. I read the books and did my online pmi training but never took ACTION! on the Knowledge I was learning. Life and the wrong mentally got the best of me for 2 years. On 10/27/2010 I said to myself it's now or never. I enrolled for the second time in DG courses. I needed fast cash so I studied assignments of contract. I took massive ACTION! and landed my first deal in 29 days, I got a seller from one of my bandit signs, I offered the seller 155k and the seller accepted. I sold the home in 1 day to one of my buyers from my bandit sign for 182k. I called my coaches so many time to make sure I was doing everything right lol. Since my first deal I have been averaging 1 -2 deals a month and looking to bump it up alot more
Thanks Dean and the Coaches in the advise line
Very good. Thanks for the response. I am also signed up forthe academy and will restart my coaching tomorrow. I am so ready to replace my income from my job and this is my way out. Keep us all posted with your progress. I can't wait to do my first deal and post my own results!!
Thanks again,
Michelle
Knowledge Plus Action Equals Results!
The only secure future I can have is the one that I build for myself!
Great job on the first deal and kepp on making some killer deals.
Hey just wondering what type of criteria did you look for in MLS deals. Did you tell your agents to filter deals by as is, vacant, and price reduction?
I actually have an agent I'm working with right now and we're using that criteria. He sent me some listings last night in which I picked out about 5-10 good potential deals and plan on putting offers on all of them.
Please let me know and thanks

Hi Tina
I put up bandit signs around the property and I started getting leads in that area, so I already new that my buyers were looking in that specific area and all I did was match them up together. I did a regular 5 page florida as is contract and did a double closing.. when u do double closing buyers does not see your purchase contract
Response:
Thanks Mike,
That's what I do; get buyer's criteria, shop/find/lock-up and sell them the deal. Unfortunately, here in Vegas most of my buy/hold investors are looking at LOW... end props. I'm locking in at $25,000 - $65,000 prices on $50,000- $160,000 props, but only getting fees of $2,000- $6,000 ea (avg $3,400). I think if I step up to the "no dirty work" investors who are looking at $50 psf (rather than $30 psf) props I will be able to work in better fees. DG says my fees are way too low, but all other wholesalers I talk to here are only getting $1,000 - $2,000.

Q: If you please, tell us more.... like what your buyer's criteria was-- was the buyer an investor or a retail buyer? I take it the seller was FSBO, so you matched them up... how did you write the offer and how did you do the closing? A double closing? Did the buyer see how awesome your spread was?
Love to hear!

as long as you aren't greedy and give them the dead they're looking for, you shuldn't have to double close, unless it's a big fee ad you think the buyer will bak at your fee. be as transparent with all parties, as you can. Leave enough meat on the bone from your buyers. I'd be happy with any amount at this point, but that's me.
Way to go,man!
Ignorance is weakness,knowledge is power,awareness is the key!
True... but why show how much your are really making. double closing is worth the extra change to keep everything confidential. Also if your buyer saw what you made off the deal how would it look the next time around lol, you know he is going to ask for a bigger price reduction. Another thing is that with reo you are not allowed to assign so double close is the way to go
Congrats!

If you need transactional funding for ur next deals in the pipeline, without being charged with points from other lenders keep me in mind..... I'm here to help u in this area to lock up ur deals quicker.

Mike L,
I think if I was making $15K-$20K on a deal I would probably do a double close for sure. Unfortunately, I haven't had the pleasure. In NV the transfer fees alone on 5.1%, so quite pricey. To keep meat on the bone for everyone, I do Quit Claims with an Agent/Principal agreement and it saves the transfer tax. My deals have all been transparent. In fact, I call my buyers at the last counter session and ask them what they'll pay for a property and how much they have in it for me... if they will pay (these are some really low end deals) $40,000 for a property and they will pay me $3,500 and my counter is at $38,500... I go back with $36,500 as my best offer if I contact the asset manager and feel I can risk the reduced offer and still get it.
Then I can make $5,500. If I feel I will lose it, I'll take the $3,500 and accept the counter.
All transparent. No extra costs. But yeah if I get honking deal, I'm doing a D/C.
