Flip This Wholesaler

4/3/2008

So, I'm finally situated in my new place. I still have a few odds and ends that I need to take care of, but for the most part, everything is done. I've been running around like a crazy person all week trying to get everything in order. I haven't even had a chance to do any work, make any offers, etc, but tomorrow I'm back at it.

Tuesday I met the guy who's buying my latest REO deal. We met at Starbucks (the original plan was to meet at Panera, but after one look at the parking lot, we decided on Starbucks instead). I'd rather saw my arm off with a rusty butter knife than wait in a line that long to eat. Anyway, we met and signed the contract and chatted for awhile. 15 minutes into the conversation, he said something that made me drool on myself a little bit. I think his exact words were "I plan on buying 10 more properties like this one this year- do you think you could help me find them?" SCORE!! Hell yes I can. I don't know what's going on, but I seem to be a cash buyer magnet lately. Bring it on..

As it stands, I've got 2 closings next week, one on Thursday, one Friday. Both are simultaneous closes, which I've been stressing out about since I've never done one before. I went into my title company today to talk to the lady working my deals, just to make myself feel better. She pretty much set my mind at ease, but I'll probably be a nervous wreck anyway until they close.

Oh, I finally got a new computer!! As much as I wanted the pink Dell laptop, I couldn't bring myself to spend the money (2007 turned me into a penny pincher), so I went on Craigslist and found a Dell laptop for $400, which I ended up getting for $350.00! I was thinking of wholesaling it for some quick cash (hehehe), but decided to keep it instead. It works like a champ. I need to hunt that Craig down and take him out for a drink...
