DONT EVER GIVE UP EVERRRR!!!! 1st Deal DONE $1000 on the way!

Way to go Lane!! Thanks for sharing!

keep me coming

Did you make up at contract on the 50/50 split? Or was it verbal? I would also like to do this with a local wholesaler who has approached us but just havent put it on paper as of yet, any advice would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

It's about time man. I am proud of you for hanging in there....Jan

This wholesaler and I have built a personal relationship and we do not use a contract for our 50/50 split.

Network, find the HONEST people in your area and do business with them.

If you don't want to take the chance of someone being dishonest then go ahead and sign an agreement. It can't hurt.

Thanks bud! How are you and Jeremy doing? I just watched your empowering conversation the other day. Tell Jeremy hello.

Ill be at EDGE 12 in May

Lane,

Nice Job way to hang in there.
Continued sucess!

Way to go, man.

Like you said; so what if it took you 11 months. You knew you could (and would); it was just a matter of time! We NEVER doubted you, for sure.

I've been at this for alot longer (off and on); and have yet to complete a deal. But you know what; it's just around the corner. It's time to pay the piper, and I'm the "piper"!! I've begun to take action lately and lots is happening. It's amazing how that works if you just get off your duff and DO SOMETHING!

I'm really excited for you Lane. Great job and keep 'em comin'!!!!

Thanks man! You will do it, just keep pushing, a little bit everyday.

Great job, I can tell I will be hearing about more deals from you soon. Keep em coming, makes me want my first deal more than ever!

Steve.

Thanks, more deals to come! Tell Veronica hello!

Congrats on the first deal of many. May your mailbox overflow with checks!

It's the first and won't be the last!

Good job! I know it is coming at a good time for you!!

Is there EVER ANY time that is NOT a good time???? ;D

Karen

Lane on your first deal. I only hope that my first doesn't take that long. At the moment, it feels like it will or may be even longer.
BUT I TRUDGE ON!!! My deal is just around the corner! (I just need to find the right corner )

Good or you! It's so easy to become discouraged, but hearing stories like your's is what it's all about! Congrats!! Keep it up and I hope to hear a lot more from ya. Keep them coming!

Goes to show you that other investors/wholesalers CAN (and should) work together!

Awesome!

I am happy for you and surprised too because I thought you had done a deal long ago. You said you found the deal. Can you share with us how you found the deal? I have been studying REI for a couple of years now and still need to get my first deal badly. I don't think it should be taking me this long to get it done. From the various posts on this thread it seems I am not alone and others are still working to get that first deal. I can only imagine how good it must feel.

I know it was hard but now that the first one is under your belt, the next ones will come easier and easier. Really!!

It was from a bandit sign, put them out by Mcdonalds, Walmart, walgreens, etc...all of the busy places.

Find the WHOLESALE buyers in your area. Not other WHOLESALERS you want (WHOLESALE BUYERS)

The wholesale buyers have the liquid cash you need to move your deals and move alot of them whenever you need to. I have 2 very big buyers, yes I said I only have two buyers on my list, Yes I will be growing my list when I move into the lease option strategy but right now as a wholesaler all I have is 2 VERY LARGE buyers.

Put your signs out, find the MOTIVATED sellers, not the people that would LIKE to sell, you want the ones that NEED to sell YESTERDAY!

The best properties for wholesale are as follows:

Probate(Estate)Properties
Properties that have been owned at least 10 years.(Lower Mortgage Balances and Low property taxes.)
Old Rentals (Tired Landlords)
Divorce Sales
Job Relocation
Job Loss

Hope this helps.

I already have two more soon to be under contract and Im negotiating a third one now.

Still waiting on a short sale deal to close from 3 months ago.

So if all of these go through I will be up to 5 deals total.

Im headed out to put up more bandit signs this weekend.

I appreciate your response and the info on finding the deal. I just know I will feel so much better about myself when I am finally successful at getting one done. Keep on keeping on.

So if I understand you correctly you found the deal/property and the wholesale buyer with a bandit sign.

Great Job! That's so inspiring! Hope that short sale comes thru for you!

Dude, congrats! I hope you get that deal in Texas sold, too. I know you can do it. Have a great weekend & thank for the inspiration & motivation.

way to stick with it and finally get one done! it gets easier from here

AWESOME,AWESOME,AWESOME.....for you!!!!!!!!! ........you are the definition of PERSISTENCE!!!
With your attitude and drive......I knew u would make it happen.what a CONFIDENCE builder that first deal is.The rest does come easier because all the work and DETERMINATION has finally pd off to clinch that first one!!! congratulations.......you deserve it! !!!!!go get the next one!!
Jay

I know the first is the one you will always remember. I joined DG at the same time and Im thinking the same thing Jan said, it is about time for me to pull the trigger too! Best of luck on the ones in your pipeline.

Thank you everyone! I am very excited!
