Sure can...lets see just moved to Amarillo in late July so my fiance could finish her nursing degree...i have been learning my market and reading all i can about investing for alittle over a year..recently done my first deal...i wholesaled a house to aninvestor who does rehabs...and we close on the 17th of October....The deal: tax value on the house is 91k....ARV is approx..95k-105k ...i got a contract for 38k sold it for $4500...it was pretty simple for a first deal...i really expect my second to be a little more difficult...My ultimate goals are to get into rehabs, rental properties..and owc's.

I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi Aaron. Welcome to the forum.

Those sounded like pretty good numbers on your first deal. Congrats and I hope it all turns out well for you. I definitely would be interested in looking at any of your future ones that you come across.

I'd also love to sit down and talk with you or do lunch sometime. I'll send you a PM.
