Flip This Wholesaler

I won't get into the whole messy story, but I found out today that the mortgage guys were completely bull-shitting me about the deals I sent them and the buyers they supposedly found. I ended up calling one of the homeowners to see what was going on, and he told me they (the mortgage guys) quit returning his phone calls and emails about a week ago, so he ended up listing with a realtor. Nice. What a bunch of assholes. I sent off a nasty-gram basically telling them to go f themselves (I refrained from dropping the f-bomb, although I really wanted to). I don't expect to hear back from them, nor do I care to.

I have had quite a bit of interest in the 85k house today. The word is out on the street that it's available, and I think I will get a contract on it by the end of the week. I've had a couple verbal offers for the high 80's, so I know if all else fails, I will still make 5 grand off of it. I really think I can get 95k, though. The seller miraculously called me today to see if I needed him to sign the addendum to extend the contract. I faxed it over to him and actually got it back within the hour. Sweet. Now I have until the 26th to close, so that gives me a good bit of time to find that 95k buyer. I know he/she is out there. I just have to find them. Meanwhile, my bank account is in the negative, but at least I know I have money coming. That's always a bonus. It's interesting how your tolerance to financial stress increases when you have been on the brink of financial disaster for an extended period of time. Last year at this time I would have been balled up in the corner crying if I was in the same position. Now it's kind of like, "been there, done that". Not that it isn't stressful anymore, but I figure if I've somehow made it this far (and I'm not sure how I have), then I will make it no matter what. Is that the lesson that I was supposed to learn during this whole nightmarish year? I sure hope so, cause I don't feel like learning any more life lessons right now. I get it. Please throw me a bone.

I got my first offer on one of the properties I am marketing for the investor I am working for. It is way low, but you never know. At least I am getting some action in response to all of the marketing I have been doing.

I finally got my birth certificate in the mail today. Costa Rica, here I come!!!
