1 Acre Land Assignment

[Lindsey Johnson]

Investment Info:

Other wholesale investment.

Purchase price: $35,000
Sale price: $40,000

Met this seller through a mail campaign I did in Charleston,South Carolina. He called me to tell me that the subject property was not for sale. I asked if anything else in his portfolio was. He told me that an acre of land in NC was. I called around, met a local agent, and ran some numbers. We came up with a good offer price and locked it up. We marketed the property to our lists and brought a qualified, cash buyer and assigned it for a fee. We, our seller, and our end buyer all won on this one!
