how long did it take to close your first deal

Not saying I'm giving up but, how long did it take to wholesale a first deal???  I need a little motivation today. 

I've been actively marketing for 6 months now; mailer to probate & absentee, just started using bandit signs a few months ago, D4$ a few weeks.  I've got 26 leads made 10 offers.

I don't have a huge budget cause i just had a baby and bought my first house around the same time i decided to get into wholesaling.  

what could i be doing better??  i know it's a numbers game, but 6 months of no results is taking a toll on my enthusiasm.  thanks guys

Hi! I started this journey June of this year and I closed on my very first deal last week Friday! I marketed to vacant homes ONLY and I got quite a few leads and I actually still have a few leads pending with that list. Just remember..... they might not call you today but just when you least expect it they will give you a call. Don't give up and remember people are succeeding with investing all they time its just all about consistency and endurance.
