Flip This Wholesaler

So, I was over at my friend John's house today making up some handwritten signs, and all of a sudden he says, "Steph! Steph! Hurry, come check this out!" I go over to the window and look out on the patio, and there's a decent sized hawk sitting smack dab in the middle of the patio with a decent sized blue jay in it's talons. It just sat there and looked at us with it's wings outstretched over the blue jay for the longest time. Finally it took off into a nearby tree and did whatever it is that hawks do to dead blue jays before they eat them. All I know is all of a sudden it started raining blue jay feathers. Poor little guy.

I got my signs out. Not 20, but 10. Not only did John come with me to put them out, he actually did the dirty work for me. A good friend, indeed.

Not getting much action on this property which is getting me a teense worried. The only call I got today was from a Carleton Sheets graduate that wanted to know, "Hmm, sounds like a nice place, do you mind me asking you why are you selling it?" Before she could get to the "If I could offer you all cash and close quickly, what's the least amount you could take" line, I just came right out and asked if she was a cash buyer. Not so much. Saved myself at least ten minutes answering questions about fruit trees and the like. Gotta give her credit, though, at least she's getting out there and doing something.

I'm still waiting for my ad to go live on Rehablist. Last time it took them 4 days to get it posted. I usually get a pretty good response from there, so it would be nice if my ad was actually active before my contract runs out.

Oh, before I forget, Steve Cook wrote an excellent article over on the flippinghomes.com blog. Steve has been one of the biggest inspirations to me in my investing endeavors. A rare breed in this business, for sure.
