When A House Won't Sell...

I currently have a house that is a piece of crap. It is in horrible condition in a less than "aspirational" neighborhood.

How I Did My First Real Estate Deal Ever



In today's post, I discuss how I did my first real estate deal ever. Included in this video are

  • How I found the deal
  • Meeting the Seller/Owner
  • Getting the property under contract
  • Marketing the property to buyers
  • Negotiating with buyers
  • Getting the deal across the finish line
  • The HUGE mistakes (PLURAL) I made
  • How much money I made on the deal
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and I'm happy I've been able to share this with you! From this video you will see that you do not have to be perfect to get a deal done. I made gigantic mistakes in my first deal and still was able to get the deal across the finish line. I hope this video motivates you to help you to get your first deal done too!
