How long did it take to get your first deal?

[Ned Carey]

As I respond to new member posts, I often sense and urgency to get a first deal. I also sense many investor drop out because they don't get a deal aft two or three months.

It's my belief that is is probably 6-8 months on average for the first deal to happen.

My first deal was after about 6 months but I cheated and bought one at auction. It would have taken me longer if I had waited until I found one via creative methods.

So how about you? How long did your first deal take.
