Wrapping up flip #1, deal #2 accepted today

[Alex Maldonado]

So we were suppose to have an open house this weekend for our first flip in Stratford, Ct this weekend but it has rained all week this week so a couple of things outside haven't been completed. The sand from the old pool hasn't been removed and dirt put in it's place because the dirt can't be delivered so the open house will have to be next weekend.

On a positive note, REA notified me that one of my offers has been accepted. YES!!!!!! Original asking price was 89,900. My original offer was 75,500 the seller countered with 83,900 and I countered back with 80,000 and that was accepted. Going to run the numbers again, worked on presentation package, requested inspection estimates and an appraisal, and downloaded house purchase checklist - due diligence period. Also met a fellow BP member on the train today. What's up Zack Grotovsky?!

So last night I was looking around on BP, as I'm a new member and still learning how to use BP, and I was looking for local members. I came across a face that looked so familiar, so I sent him a note (was actually trying to send a message but sent a note instead) introducing myself. Then today, on my commute home from work on the train I see that face again. So I ask him his name and asked if he was on BiggerPockets and introduce myself. Small world, BiggerPockets is BIG! So now I have a train buddy and someone to bounce ideas back and forth with. Good stuff.

Happy Mother's Day weekend to all you mom's out there!
