FINALLY!!! My First Deal Completed!!

FINALLY!!! My First Deal Completed!!

CONTINUED FROM MY BLOG PAGE:

This new wholesaler's name is Matt. Matt had contacted me through an ad I had posted about looking for cheap properties. He gave me a call and asked if I'd be interested in buying these 2 properties he had recently placed under contract. After I told him that I am doing what he is doing (wholesaling)... We agreed to work together and try selling them together.
Finally, in November (around Thanksgiving) I found my buyer for one of them. Her name is Megan. Megan was a new investor and this would prove to be both of our first deals.

So, after months and months of showing her the property, waiting for her to make decisions and re-negotiating the contract with her and the seller finally closed the deal a few weeks ago.. I got the seller to lower his price from $38K to $34,500. The house appraised at $43K and I sold it to Megan for $35,800...

After all was said and done, I didn't come out rich, and only ended up making about $1K on the whole deal... BUT, This was a GREAT learning experience.. I found out a few things: I do not really need an RE agent to do this (unless I decide to expand to Government owned properties), It is VERY possible to do this with no money out of pocket, I learned how to negotiate a deal to make it a win-win-win deal & how to create the proper contracts to use in the deal, and last I learned how the whole closing process works..

So, all in all it did take a total of about 3 months to close this deal, BUT; I only plan on moving UP and cutting my next deals time frame in half!! With hopefully DOUBLE the profits...!!

Congrats Eric

I love your persistence which you had on this deal. If you think about it $1,000 is way much better than a $0.

I'm happy for you. Keep up your good work.

Onto The Next On Now haha..

You will surely succeed!

Congratulations

I like your persistance and attitude. Remember the better deal that you negotiate, the more profit you will make. Start making offers at 65-70% of the asking price until you find a seller who is will to come down to your price. It will take 25 offers to find one motivated seller. But when you do you will have a product that your buyers will want and you will be able to charge a reasonable assignment fee for it. (Like a min. of 5k) That will make your efforts worthwhile. Keep up the good work.


yea baby!

way to go matt nice it feels so great doesn't it, keep going man I have done 4 deals & it does feel awesome, we can do this & make some awesome profits. be well.

Thank you JC

Hey JC..... Thank you very much for your positive comment on my post.

Unfortunately, I didn't originally get the house under contract.... I "re-negotiated" the lowest price I could, and figured I'd give it a try at this amount...

Recently I have been on the verge of wholesaling his other property to a potential 1st time home buyer (a good friends son). If all goes well with this deal, I should make about the same as this first deal... Hopefully a little more...

Thanks again JC...

Great job Emattp

Great job Emattp ! I currently am trying to set up my LLC and then I am off on my way, love hearing this and many other stories of my fellow dg family members..... One thing I wanted to mention is how did it go with the transactional funding company I read in another post I saw you made, did the website clear it up for you? If not I have one that not only puts it in writing but gives you a video on it as well..... Lastly did you consider joining I E (insider's elite)......
