Flip This Wholesaler

I told myself that I wasn't going to write about any potential deals anymore because I thought I was jinxing myself, but I realized that it doesn't matter either way- chances are, something will go wrong, so I might as well share it with everyone. I also have learned that thinking positive and visualizing my success does not work for me either. Maybe for everybody else it does, but not me. So, I decided I will just be my old cynical self, work hard, and hope for the best.

Anyway, I got this call late yesterday from this guy who just wants to get rid of a house. He's asking 45k for it, and the comps are around $105-$110k. I told him I would go out and look at it first thing today (it's about an hour away), which I did. It's a dump, but even with 25k in repairs it's still a good deal. I have tried calling the guy twice today to tell him I want it, but he doesn't answer his phone. I got his fax number yesterday when I was talking to him, so I just faxed the contract over a little bit ago. I probably will never hear from him again, but you never know. Miracles happen occasionaly, maybe my number is up. I was talking with the neighbor while I was out looking at the home, and he told me the guy who used to live there was a child molestor and all of the neighbors chased him out of town. Nice.

That's about it. I'm going out tonight with my short sale friend to have sushi and sake and bask in the accomplishments that I'm sure one day I will achieve.
