My fav buyer called me this morning at 8 AM and tells me he has a deal for me.
Then he asked if I cud help his buyers get into 2 houses he was selling.
He explains they are buying 5 houses and 2 they cudnt get into.
It seems they are occupied by squatters. He then proceeds to tell me if I can get the squatters to allow the inspector and the buyers inside he will pay me $5,000 Of course I can do it.
The first house I show up at 10:30 AM, I knock on the door for 10 minutes, then I start knocking on the windows, there are several cars in the driveway and I can hear dogs barking inside. There is also an older lady parked out in the street and I walk out to talk to her. It seems she is the inspector. She tells me they were there yesterday but nobody wud answer the door.
Well, I wasnt about to kiss that 5 grand away so easily. I went back to the porch and knocked some more. Finally a young guy named Gabriel opens the door. I tell him we are buying the house and were not there to kick them out but we just want to do an inspection. Quite a few people came crawling out. It was actually a nice house and they had a nice sofa and a big TV, but no heat and it was about 35 degrees in there. The inspector was taking her sweet time, even photographing the sidewalk and driveway, she even had a ladder to do the attic.
I decided to go to the second house which was a few miles away. The buyers followed me over. Again I knocked for 10 minutes and then started knocking on the windows.
Then I just stood on the porch.
I wasn't going anywhere, that 5 Grand was like a carrot on a stick. Finally a woman answers the door and is she ****ed. I told he I was sorry, and gave her the same story. She said she was having medical problems and I told her she looked good and then told me it was her birthday. I let her tell me her story and she got more friendly.
She agreed to let the inspector and the buyers in, and I headed home.
Is it beneath me to be an errand boy? Next time will he ask me to take out the garbage and wash the windows? It was actually fun, took about 2 hours. I like practicing my people skills. This is the same buyer that paid me 10 grand 6 months ago to help him save an apartment deal. He's also purchased about 30 or more of my deals in the last 2 years and made me a ton of money.
But, I still feel like a high paid lowly errand boy.
What wud you do for 5 Grand?
