DC First Deal SO NERVOUS

Rhonda Harrison
  • Washington, DC
Posted

I'm putting my first contract on a deal in DC tonight. I feel like I'm swimming in the deep end of the ocean. There are seasoned investors swarming around this property. I stayed up last night running numbers and scenarios over and over checking the math. I've purchased two homes in the past as primary residences, one of which is now a rental. For some reason I was never this nervous about those but because this is a business transaction it feels different. I'm preparing myself mentally to keep looking for my next deal if my offer gets rejected and also lining up contractors to do the renovations in case my offer is accepted as well.  

How do you deal with the first deal butterflies?
