OfflineDear Journal,
Last week my partner and I have made a commitment to view,take pictures and submit offers on 5 homes per week.It's been 2 weeks since we've done our last deal and today we're submitting 7 offers on 7 different foreclosure with 2 different agents.They have 48 hours to respond so wish us luck.Also Monday I will be viewing 3 more properties.I cant put all my eggs in one basket so the goal is to setup and keep moving.

Your first deal was really awesome.
I see you are vary active.
How do you get your leads? Are you working with an agent, or driving around?
Wish you all the luck you need!!!!

I drive around and write down all fsbo,for rents, and vacant homes I see.I also work with agents I tell them my interest and they'll email listings.If I get 25 listings I knock them down to my top five then submit offers.Craiglist is a great source also and other investors that may have trouble selling.
Hi Christina your on a roll keep that choo choo rolling, wishing you very well, Jim

Thank you I wish the same to you also.
Today I got an email from my partner as follows:
Hi Christina! Just got my email from Lisa - the two houses that I was putting in offers for are already under contract, so she sent me a list of houses to look at and I told her that I will be in on Tuesday, and that maybe we can look at 2 or 3 of them that afternoon until about 3pm. I told her you MAY be there or not... so then we have the morning to go with Teena and look at 3 - 5 houses with her also...
Later today I checked my email and saw this......
Teena did a great job finding / figuring out which props are good comps (sold properties in the last 6 months within a mile of the ones we are looking at) so I think she will be able to do that - I'm printing out one of the offers right this second (I'M STILL AT THE OFFICE!!!) which I will sign and fax back to her tomorrow morning, and then she has emailed me one more offer to sign, so SHE believes that this is going to be GREAT for ALL 3 OF US (just like WE believe!!) but we have to go one step at a time, understand what we did with each step, and then DUPLICATE the process OVER AND OVER AGAIN, and then cash our CHECKS!!!
Yesterday my partner and I met our realtor and saw 6 homes in an hour.The 5 they saw last week 2 were rejected,1 counter,and 2 are still on the table.So...Friday (God's will)I will met Lisa to see four more.Untill then I will keep putting offers.
Keep as organized as possible, it gets wicked. There are a lot of data programs, but I just use an excel sheet.
And milk all the offers for as much as you can.
Luck and wellness,
Tina
