Well it only took me 12 years to circle back to real estate and finally do a deal! I ordered MC's course sometime back in 05' time frame, read it, and tried for all of a few weeks sort of...and now i'm back I am retired from the Marines with a background in contracts, as well as my check in the box 4 year degree in program acquisition. I filed the paperwork for my LLC a couple months back and so it began. I'm originally from Wisconsin and due to living there for 22 years, I chose two counties to market to (waukesha & dane). I currently live out in SoCal and do marketing in Orange & Riversideed county as well. Due to my background in the military, i'm a systems guy. I'm all about automation and using technology to cut down on repetitive task. I currently do a large amount of craigslist marketing (cubix solutions) and direct mailing. I track all my leads using Podio linked with Globiflow, zapier, vumber, and mighty text. Last week I collected the first CA check from my WI market on a 5bd, 3.5ba house for $5,145. I used Docusign to get the short offer signed between the seller and I initially. To save time and ensure the documents were legally up to snuff I used and escrow company/real estate lawyer to complete the documents. This was all done through Docusign as well. There is nothing better than waking up and seeing an electronic transfer into the business account and not to mention I'm in California and the home is in Wisconsin. Got a few under contract marketing them and got a few offers out waiting on sellers to sign. I look forward to learning from the forum and contributing where I can. Don
