My Fix and Flip Deal is now #Closed

Congratulations to me on this one.
We definitely rise by lifting others.
This deal was a little bit different because it was not about the profit.

It was about helping a seller out of a tough situation.
I also use this deal to establish a working relationship with a new contractor and also encourage my team to put people's first.

Yes, I was the Real Estate Agent and I sold it myself.
So I will recommend myself for any action takers out there.
