My name is Joseph Gambino, I’m new to BiggerPockets but have been listening to the podcast for awhile now. Try to get atleast two episodes in a day. I’m closing on my first deal in Fairhope, Alabama. Fairhope is a high end community, expensive, and touristy. My family owns a small restaurant doing $1mil+ a year in the heart of the town (local population 14,000 give or take). Small cottage, 598 sqft, getting it for $63,500 (was listed at $72,500) with seller replacing the whole A/C system (compressor, condenser, air handler, furnace, heat pump) and him paying all my closing cost. Looking at $415 for mortgage and should be able to rent it for $750. I can put myself around in the greater Mobile, AL area. Ready to learn and eager for more deals. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can, thanks!

We wholesale, manage, turn-key & flip homes primarily in Mobile, and working on a flip now in Fairhope not too far from your family's restaurant.
