smitchell210 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Still looking to do my deal. I have to admit I fell of the horse but have gotten back up and have started contacting homeowners again. Anyone else doing any deals or looking to do first deal?? Thanks. Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Diver Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Scott, I'm in the same boat. So so many times I've been real close but not yet. Have 2 potentials right now but we'll see. To many people up here have a Realtors mind set or think they need all cash when they really don't. Diver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Scott, it comes down to contacting enough homeowners. About a week and a half ago I shot out about 30 emails when I had some spare time. Landed one deal as a result, which has already received three offers. One couple wants to buy the house, two others want to rent it.A second wave of emails a few days ago looks like I will be getting another deal. He is an across the country homeowner who is in the process of evicting his current tenants. He's delighted to have my help locally. I'll be getting back to him today with some numbers and hopefully finalizing the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smitchell210 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 I think I was under estimating the numbers you have go through starting out to get a deal. I feel something will happen soon. Thanks for the encouragement! Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vballdarin 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 Yep...I'm STILL in the same boat! There are 1250 licensed agents in my county, numerous rental/property mgmt companies (because it's a resort area), and most of the area contains houses built since 2003 (People owe more than the house is worth). I've grown weary of answering the same phone calls or emails with not even a sniff of a deal where the numbers work. I have to admit that I got burnt out after trying sooo hard to get a deal and holding down 2 other part time jobs. I'm gonna keep my nose to the grindstone. This is a great forum for ideas (new and old) and everyone is very helpful in sharing those ideas. Somebody's bound to email me by accident with a decent house to offer as a CA. Either that or i'm relocating so that i'm in MC's or BEV's area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Darin, Jason is right. No need to limit yourself geographically these days. Look outside your immediate area for some FSBO's on Craig's List and Backpage. I assure you you'll find some willing homeowners ready to deal, even if it is just helping them find a tenant for their rental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
