when I first read deans book I was so hype I start promoting his book like I wrote it... then I start watching the testimonies on how people did this process in less then a month... I got even more hype... so I decided to take the first step and that was finding alternetives to what I need to make the process work

Well, here's my first deal snapshot.

Bought my first investment home through a realtor. Asking price was $179K in an area of homes valued at $250K. House needed a bit of work, had bad paint colours and odd or different flooring throughout, old style bathrooms, nice basement apartment, wooden windows. Only 20 years old. Showed poorly. So it was not even getting viewings after 12 months.

Looking back today, it was a decent deal at the asking price.

I finally finished reading Dean's book Profit From Real Estate Now, last week. I did some old fashioned neighborhood driving and came across a few FSBO's. Of course, I was afraid to make that first phone call so, I waited a few more days getting up the nerve. The first call went straight to voicemail and so did the second (I left my information and said I was interested in the property). The third phone call was answered by what I could tell, was an middle aged gentleman. Although I was calling about one property, he told me he had three. The first one, he will take 125k for.

Well, this may just be my first deal. I located a probate property which has only one heir who lives out of the area. He wants to sell the property as well as pay me to take a boat that's at the dock. Yes this property has a dock at the back. It is considered a condo, 1991 square feet, built 1971, and is more than likely paid off or close to it (taxes are $771). I am going to look at the property tomorrow (he said the door is unlocked) and get more information. I'm very excited and ready to pass this off to another investor for a great price. I'll update when I have more details.

I just did my first deal as a partner in a rehab property today. I will also close on my first solo flip on Sept. 2nd. I'm pretty excited to finally after over 6 months of trying, and now all of a sudden I have 2 deals on the books!!!
