Long Distance Wholesaling caught a $DEAL$

A Call From my simple Craigslist Ad, Motivate seller going through a divorce wanted to unload his custom
(Not quite done yet) Home in the valley of my home town of which, by the way, I live over 600 miles away. Yes, I still advertise there since I have a small but dynamic team that I feel confident I can still close any deal with their assistance, glad I met them and Boy! Have we evolved!
Seller needs to sell his house that he built on a half acre of land he purchased over 6years ago. He got with some friends who where custom sub-contractors who built him this very new house some 3 yrs ago. Needed exterior paint, roof, and all interior paint and floors, lighting, finish showers etc...I locked it on contract for 75k and wholesaled it for 85k ARV= 209,000 with DOM of 148 days pretty good considering it was in the "country". This area was "dissed" by almost every buyer I had on my Buyer's List they would always tell me when I was getting their criteria, any place as long as the numbers make sense but NOT (that area) So, of course as the wholesale gods would have it this deal was in "that area" haha-boy I almost passed on it. Well,actually I low balled the seller thinking he will just walk away and that will be that, right, well he came back! and make me a deal I couldnt refuse, regardless what most of my buyers said, I Wholesaled IT in under 25 days to a local Investor I met some time back ago who wasnt doing it DEAN's Way and was buying too high at the court house steps! AND I Made $6500, my Co-Wholesaler made 2k and my bird dog made 2k! My team held two open houses and made bandit signs, thru the rain and the looong 40minute trip from the main city, they took photos for me, videos and marketed it for me as well on line.

Everything that could go wrong, did and it tested my own belief as well as my newest addition to my team my newbie birddog, but we held strong, shared thoughts and creativity and at the end some big sigh of reliefs and laughs! We jokingly call it our buckets of Goo Deal, because one day when faith was thin, and raining cats N dogs and the signs were hard to get in the desert ground their shoes were muddy and their clothes wet, this would surley test their true" A-team-ness", we filled our BUCKET that day for sure!We pulled through it and ON to the NEXT ONE!

My sellers were for ever grateful they could now both move on with their lives and my buyer was just as grateful that he and his wife will enjoy this one themselves and of course wants more of my deals! By the way I used my Title company (not Buyer's choice) who have done and will do some great things for me in the future as I have now closed two deals with them! Smiling
