Intro from Courtney Larsen in Tampa Bay, FL

Hi Everyone! I created an account a little while back and have gotten so much out of reading everyone's posts, but I realize I've been lacking in reciprocal interaction and figured it's time to step it up!

I started investing in real estate one year ago with my husband, Matt Larsen, after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and my husband discovering the niche we now love most, Wholesaling Real Estate. We stayed working at our full time 9-5 jobs for 3 months until we did our first deal last October. That December, we flipped 12 properties in one week with 10 of them being ON THE SAME DAY! It was wild and we loved it! We're now working on deals 45 and 46 set to close this Friday, Aug. 16th, 2013... just about one year since we started!

We love our new lifestyle and my are looking forward to ramping our business up to start doing some light rehabs and work some big time investors looking to make a good return on their money.

One of my goals is to become more involved in the online community and there's no better place for that than BP!... Looking forward to your ideas and networking with you all!

Thanks You Guys! I'm excited to be here and share as much as I can! All of our deals so far have been wholesale flips using either assignments or double closings. We have been extremely successful using yellow letters to find motivated sellers for our marketing. We haven't purchased any major lists... just "drive for dollars"... We're Old School! Haha!

I just started a blog on here about mindset, because for me, that's what it took and STILL takes each and every day to get over the humps of being a full time entrepreneur. And I will be interacting a lot more often now to share some of our sneaky ninja wholesaling tips!
