Success is NOT Doing a Deal

Why would you let the sellers dictate when you did your walk-through?
I let my buyers determine whether they want or not..... I dont determine that.
What time zone are you in? Its not 7/7/12 yet ........

Hi Darren,

Did I say it was 7/7? If so, just a mistake-- and a long week.
To clarify, yes the seller did request that I do a walk-thru (I do not usually tour the properties I lock-up), so I did and the point of whole thing was that I met a great buyer/partner/contact! And I decided not to a deal that was becoming difficult for me to flip. So I potentially lost a few thousand in fees, but potentially I will make lots of money and a good long term relationship with someone.

All good,

Because some deals you do you get as low as possible, but it still isn't low enough. My most recent deal would have had a $15K MINIMUM assignment fee. There's actually a list of people just waiting for it to come available, but I actually helped to explain how one party could buy out the other, especially for the kid's sake, and that's exactly what the wife is now in the process of doing. I worked really hard on this one and it seems sad that it didn't go through, but in the end, I helped out a family going through divorce and that's what its all about; helping people. Now, I just need to get another deal under contract and make up for it; but I believe what comes around goes around. So, although I didn't make money on it yet (although if she is not able to qualify for the loan, they will allow me to assign it again) I know I created a win/win for the children and the situation they were going through. Sometimes I think I'm overly helpful. But I've proven to myself I ***CAN*** do FSBOs in Southern CA. And that's victory in of itself.

It sounds like Mr. Motivated was not quite motivated enough. I do not look at the property I lock up either.....and if I feel resistance I do the same thing and slide out of the deal as well. Im very upfront from the beginning and explain " I NEED ACCESS TO THE HOME " I know very little about HVAC,Electrical, Etc... so I rely heavily on my subs to check things out. We buy a lot of property and they will get to it when they get to it OK ? They usually go for that..... I have learned to stop by before I show though.... Sometimes the buyer will ask a question like where is the panel box and it looks a little funny when I begin to search for it... and one time we had a buyer following us and we could not find the home.....Needless to say we didnt sell to him..... but we do have a whole lot of fun.. we still laugh about that one. We deal with a lot of crappy homes..... and if we get access.... regardless of the condition.... 90% of the time someone will take it... Sounds like you are on a roll out there ... GREAT JOB !

Thanks for the reminder.

Its really whats in the best interest of all and Tammy did the right thing, do whats best for the deal, we want to be the best at what we do and doing the right thing will get us much further in the long run than doing just what we want and who knows maybe that person will run into some one who needs are help and we might get a chance to another wonderful deal, its Win-Win for all involved, Jim

This is what Dean teaches in his books. Tina shows us how a situation turned in her favor. Great job

Darren, Tammy, Stephen, James and Julie,

You're right. As long as we can help others whether it's the wholehearted way Tammy is always helping others, or just to make it a better win/win, or learning and sharing how to make better deals. When we do our best to do the right thing, we can sleep at night!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my situation, ... actually, that would take too long, OK -short version,

I and my dog are about to be homeless, having run out of money and still unable to get a buyer/close a deal... Don't have a clue of what I'm doing wrong, or if this market just sucks.
Given the turn-around and its timing in the Reno/Sparks market, I personally think that the Apple employees/execs came into town before the announcement went public, and began buying everything they could find, KNOWING that once that news hit, everyone would be looking to get rentals set up...

Ok Fine, Whatever, still moving forward, it just might be out of my CAR come the first of the month.

So here are my questions,
Do you need any help with anything? At all? I will trade HOUSECLEANING at this point, for a corner for me and my dog, and to learn how you are doing this. ... (Yes, willing to drive down there, nothing really holding me HERE.)

And do any of your buyers look to invest in Northern Nevada? Would any of them be interested in getting in on the $1Billion Apple is looking to spend in the area in the next ten years? I would be ecstatic to partner up with you, learn from you, and split anything we close.
Because obviously, YOU are doing things Right and getting it DONE, and I need to learn from that.
Anyway, please PM me and let me know if there's anything we can work out to our mutual benefit.

Much Thanks,
Susan S.

I want to do this, I WILL do this, it is not bloody Rocket Science! There is NO REASON on this planet WHY I can't!

that's right, you gotta know when to walk away. You made the best of it and got a new buyer to boot!!! You go girl!
