Tell me about your first deal...

Hello! New Real Estate Investor here! 

When I decided to get into real estate investing, I chose the wholesale path. I cannot wait to land my first deal. I envision the rush, the joy, and happy tears of landing my first deal. I want to know how you got to your first deal as an investor, how long did it take, what creative strategy did you use, did you cry tears of joy? I want to know it all, tell me about your first deal!!

My first deal was a house hack as well! I remember being so nervous to interview renters and having someone sharing a space. I was afraid that I would have a nightmare tenant, but it actually worked out beautifully! I found an amazing tenant who kept up with the property, paid on time and didn't have any issues. My first two tenants were awesome, and then I ran into a few bad apples after that lol. If you plan on doing buy and holds, I would definitely screen your tenants thoroughly! I got lucky on my first two, but I learned a hard lesson on a few others!
