deal # is in the works.the contract is being drawn up by attorney as we speak !! the deal is a 2006 astro 3bdrm 2 bth manufactured home that i recieved as a down payment on the house i sold a couple mnths ago as deal # 3. i have been actively advertising,marketing to sell this for a couple mnths.

I know the Title sounds a bit odd, but I have a story to back it up! A few weeks I posted "Going to Closing" and since then I have closed on my first buy and hold deal. I have benefited in so many ways from that deal. I wanted to talk about an idea or a revelation that popped into my head while working a 12 hour long night shift. Here is the story.

I did this deal about a two weeks ago. I found a distress triplex in my neighborhood. The triplex was vacant for the last 3years. I found the owners info and contacted them. I could tell they were eager to sell by the way they were answering my questions. Once they let me in the property each unit needed 10k in repairs the comps were at 350k - 365k.

Okay, I have tried this route, and it is 9:0 am. on Tuesday morning, and I have just gotten 3 calls from this route. This really suprised me, and I am happy that I dropped some business cards off at these places. I think of things differently, and try to work backwards to see where I can find sellers and buyers. Well, what I did was drop a few business cards off at funeral homes. I didn't know if that would work or not, but it has.
