Flip This Wholesaler

8/7/2008

I put a few more offers in yesterday on houses in the same neighborhood as the pink house. I've pretty much got an offer on every single concrete block house in this zip code that's priced under 80k. So far, I've received 2 counters, one of which was $1500 below list price with a closing date of September 22nd. That obviously is not going to work. The other one I may be able to turn into a deal. I gave the address to my buyer this morning and he is going to go by this afternoon. The bank is "supposedly" ready to close on it any day, as it has been under contract twice already, and both times the buyers/wholesalers bailed at the last minute. It just came back on the market in the 50's, and I'm trying to get it for 35-38k and sell somewhere in the 40s. We'll see what happens.

Last night I discovered my new favorite restaurant in Tampa- Vino E Pasta. I'm not sure what I like best about this place- the food, the service, the atmosphere, or the fact that you get a complimentary bruschetta for an appetizer, and these delicious little cream puff things for dessert. I think I will start treating myself to dinner there every time I close a deal. :)

Gotta run- I'm going to St. Louis this weekend to visit my sister and my nephew, and I've got a million and one things to do before I go...
