Not a success, YET!

I'm starting this post as a constant reminder to myself, that I WILL get that first deal done, and as a tracker of my progress.

These are a few of the first 200 yellow letters I sent out on June 25th. To date I have had 5 callbacks from them. Made offer on one and will analyze the others this weekend. Gonna 'get r done'.

Update: Signed contract with home owner this last Monday. We split the offer/sale price down the middle and came up with an acceptable number to us both. I put the home out there on Craig's list, made personnel contacts and fellow BP'ers. Today, I ran into a some friends at Walmart who live in the area of the home. After 45 minutes of conversation about other topics, I asked, "Who do you know...that would be interested? (Check out my blog, very ironic here.) She turned to him, gave a look, he asked where is it?  I told him the location. He said he had two other properties on that street, how much you want? I told him, he said "Sold".   Now I know he was saying that off the cuff, so I won't jumping for joy just yet, but after he looks at it tomorrow, this could be done this weekend.
