FIRST DEAL IN 29 DAYS

Onto deal #2. Wishing you all the best!!!

Hi,

Thank you so much. The most important thing that the coaches drilled into my head was to build a buyers list, just build, build, build lol. once you have a buyers list and you know what your buyers are looking to buy you go out and shop for them.

Thanks Josh.... I want to bump it up alot

Awesome Mike! Congrats!

Saw this post and 2-6 as well! You are on FIRE! I know you've been kicken tail in FL, great to read your post about it!

(btw: not as important how you start but how you finish!)

God bless,
Jen

Hi Jen

Thanks.. Gotta keep the fire burning lol. Im hungry for deals just like Matt

Hey Mike,

Great job on getting that wholesale deal done. I am just now starting out and taking action. Like you I need fast cash so I'm looking to do an assignment deal in less than 1 month from now. Currently building my buyers list, I've put ads on craigslist and also talked to some real estate agents today, hopefully I'll be getting a list of real estate bought by cash for the last 90 days, soon like tomorrow. With that I'm going to send these cash buyers a power letter and go from there. Once I have some reliable, qualified cash buyers I'll just go after the properties they're seeking, lock it up and make it win win for everyone!

Happy investing,
Gabriel Do Carmo

Hi Gabriel

Awesome man. Put some bandit signs out on the street saying house for sale 3/2, and start getting them buyers from all over

Congrats Mike! Thats a pretty nice spread

Hi Lenee

I know, it's amazing. It really beats the 8 - 5 and 40 hours a week lol

GOT to be hungry.....starving actually!

When it becomes equivalent to needing air to breathe, that's when shift/transformation takes place.
You know this! I know you know this!!.....posting for those that will come along and read it later.

See you at the Edge M.L.! (hey wait, I know those initials! coincidence.....probably not!) LOL

Keep blowing it up sunshine! Proud of ya!

Mike, Glad to see someone from the past, jumped back in and made it work! I am in the same boat. I did score a money partner though. I always bog down with the bandit sign stategy though (big fine here).

Great story Mike. Congratulations on your continued success. I've got a brother Mike in Miami area as well! What's really cool is you got started finally in the right direction and took to heart building the buyers list. That is excellent.

Thanks for posting your experience.

Yeah jen im super starving lol... Shhhh don't tell people that you know the secret of ( ML ) lol

Hi Andrew

Glad I can contribute... Don't give up man, just keep being consistant, don't stop putting bandit signs... Every time we stop working at it we have to start all over again from the begining

Thanks Roger. Hey is your brother part of the DG? is he investing in miami, if so I would love to link up and see how we can help each other

Your exactly where i want to be in the next month or so Mike!!(: thanks for sharing your story.
It is very inspirational, thats it learn a lot get very motivated(fire up) then TAKE ACTION! you said it right! great job and your first deal again.
Robert.

Don't stop.

That's soooo encouraging! Thanks for sharing.

Heck yea it does!!

Congrats Mike L!

So you're in Florida, I'm in Vegas-- I think our markets are much the same at the moment!
If you plesse, tell us more.... like what your buyer's criteria was-- was the buyer an investor or a retail buyer? I take it the seller was FSBO, so you matched them up... how did you write the offer and how did you do the closing? A double closing? Did the buyer see how awesome your spread was?

AWESOME!!!!

If you get a buyers or sellers for Las Vegas, lmk and we'll split, Ill do the same.
What part of FL are you in?

Keep it up!

Mike - Way to go!!! Thanks for sharing your story!

Thanks everyone. REI is so much fun, so challenging and so nerve racking all in one lol. But there is one very important thing that we must always do.

1. Always learn from are mistakes and others as well.

2. Never, never, never give up.

So far this month is looking good. another 2 deals will close this month and im looking for more

Congrats & keep going, now gets easier......

are you just wholesaling or are you flipping? how many buyers do you have? have you been able to bump it up to more than 2 deals a month?

wishing you great success,

Hi Valerie, Hope all is well

im whole selling and now getting a pcs of action on the flipping.. I have like 30 buyers but always looking for more everyday. this month im doing 3 and the month aint over yet

Mike,

Thanks for sharing! I'm in the same boat. I bought DG's books about 2 years ago and just let them gather dust. I'm reading them now and trying to soak in everything on this site. Your success is inspiring and I'm finally taking action. Best of luck to you and your continued success!!!

I am so inspired by your post.

I am looking to do the exact same thing here.

This is why I come to this site on a daily basis.

There is truly nothing like it.

I am looking to duplicate exactly what you did.

Do you invest full time at this point? Do you still have your 9-5? Are you working with an agent or getting all of your deals from FSBO's directly? I am starting out and have a few agents that are just as hungry as I am and want to move fast.

Thanks,

Michelle

Awesome! I'm still trying to get my first deal done (heh people were not kidding about it being hard to obtain) but its been a great ride so far! I'm learning a lot.

Congratulations!

Hi Michelle, Hope all is well

I do this full time now. Just before I was going to quit literally the week before, I got fired lol... All my deals have been through raltors and MLS, it is very challenging to find FSBO in Miami... Don't use just 1 agent, use every single agent that are hungry, the more the better

Mike L,

I don't mean to bug, but....
Can you tell us more about your deals?

from Apr 1:
