College Drop out to First Deal

Hey Guys,

Thought I'd share my first deal with everyone :)

I dropped out of college March of 2015. 

My friends and associates looked down on me thinking I was turning into a bum. Other parents would call mine saying, "I'm so sorry to hear about Garrett."

Little did they know I had been reading books and attending wealth seminars for quite some time. 

I knew what I wanted and finally took a leap of faith.

I started reading, listening, and watching videos online for a solid month before I had my first break through. Anything business, finance, real estate, and motivation related inspired the hell out of me. 

I started asking questions of people who are where I wanted to be.

It led me to Toledo! Thanks Engelo Rumora (I know you'll get notified Mr. Key Word.)

Anyways, my first deal was through a yellow letter.

An older gentleman called and wanted to sell his house for 65,000.

After three weeks of negotiation I got him to sell me the property for 35,000

Long story short, I sold it 3 days later for 53,000 without moving a paint brush :)
