The past few days have been interesting to say the least. I got a call about a house locally which fit my buyer's criteria by about 85%. I went to look at the house with a GC so I was able to get a general idea of what the fix up costs would be so I could "crunch" my numbers. The good news is that they worked. I called my investor and told about the house and he said he was interested. I told him I'd email him the Non-circumvent agreement and he said he was fine with that. I came home and sent it out right away. That was 2 days ago. Has anybody heard from this guy because I haven't. I left 2 messages for him yesterday trying to set up an appointment to see the house and sent an email last night trying to find out if there was a problem. No responses at all today. Maybe I didn't give this guy the sense of urgency but I guess I won't know that until I finally talk with him again. I decided that I am going to go forward with a contract anyway and just make sure I have my escape clauses. I really want this to work out because this could be the start of something big.

I finally heard about the CO house and it's a go so far. The closing won't be until Jan due to the holidays but I've waited this long so what's a few more days?
I also started researching areas in Orlando for the out of country buyers. They want to do a strategy that's still a bit new for me so I will probably do more research than necessary but I'd rather know more than not enough. So it looks like Jan is going to be the big month and not Dec. Good thing I have lure orders to fill. Am planning another trip to Miami next week before New Years.
I've also been talking with a fellow DGer in WPB about possibly partnering up. Lots of irons in the fire. I guess that's why I can't sleep too much. LOL

Finally, in this state of political correctness, I want to wish everyone who celebrates a holiday this time of year, my best wishes to you and yours for a happy & safe holiday season. For those who don't celebrate anything, my best wishes for a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year. May 2012 be as fruitful for you all as I plan on making it for me.

And to all a good night...

Till next time...
