Finally landed my first deal!!!!!

Hey BP Nation,

Well, I finally landed my first deal- kinda by accident. Here is the story:

As it happens I work full-time for a disaster restoration company, and a call came in from a lady who had a friend who was a hoarder. Not just normal hoarding mind you, but animal hoarding. Anyway, I took the job lead and went out and met the hoarding homeowner, and as it turns out- I know him! Anyway long story short, I told him that we could clean his house for X amount. He explained to me that he didn't have any money. Through general conversation, he told me that he owned another house across town. I then told him that I was in real estate investing, and could possibly help him out. I went and looked at the other house that hadn't been lived in for about eight years, and decided that even though it was really rough, and in not the greatest neighborhood, that I would help him out and buy it. It was a win win win situation. He got his house cleaned, my company got some work, and I ended up with a deal! I just thought I'd share my story with you guys! I'm pretty stoked! I'm finally "in the game!"
