Flip This Wholesaler

4/6/2008

Nothing much exciting going on. I've been doing a lot of marketing for buyers, and making a lot of offers the last few days. Got a few counters back today, but nothing to write home about. I found a new cash buyer from one of my Craigslist ads. That's the thing about Craigslist (or any other type of marketing for that matter), you can go days without any serious hits, and then, along comes a cash buyer. Same thing with the signs- I only got 3 calls from the signs I put out over the weekend, but I will continue to put them out, because I know they work. You just have to be consistent, and persistent, and you will get calls. Last time I put them out, I found the buyer who bought my last deal, and who wants to buy 10 more this year. Not sure how much money that will translate into for me, but I can tell you it will pay for the cost of the signs, gas, and my time- many times over. Speaking of that buyer- he sent me an email last night telling me he is ready for another house already. Nice. Hopefully he won't cheat on me with another wholesaler. Hehe. My other consistent cash buyer should be ready for another pretty soon, too. He's in the middle of a refi as we speak, and will be ready to go once it's closed. Gotta love those landlord buyers....

Since my back is trashed and I haven't been able to run for the last month, and I'm starting to get a double chin, I decided to take up swimming laps. LOVE it! I get down to the pool (which is heated-woohoo!) while the sun is rising, and I have the entire deck to myself. It's very peaceful. I'm hooked.

Over and out...
