I AM CRUSHING 2017! Best deal day EVER!

So guys!

I just had to write this to share with all of you.I have had a GREAT day. Normally we write here when we are confused, scared, or feel lost and need a life preserver tossed out way (I know I have). People on here help each other through some tough times. Now, I want to share my day with you because I"m on top of the world. 

First, I have an accepted contract for a @) unit building for $15,750 a unit (1 bd/eff mix). NO, its not in the war zones either. It's my first jump to commercial MF and I'm pumped for my value add play!

Second, I had a offer accepted for a tiny 2 bd house (so cute) with a huge yard in my tiny town where rentals jump off the market before most go on! $50k (I will put about $3k in it to freshen up yard and kitchen a bit) and will rent for $800.

Third, I was thrown a house to flip for $65k that needs cosmetic rehab and ARV is $150k! Ironically, I was contacted by the show "First Time Flippers" three weeks ago and they asked if I would apply for the show, I told them I'm probably not qualified...but the people I'm mentoring are!! So, first my mentee gets to flip his first house (as my partner) on tv (with me as his coach)! I LOVE what I can bring to the people I am actively mentoring!

I have already nailed down one goal for this year (being a guest on a podcast) now I am so close to my commercial property and this will add 21 units to my portfolio and accomplish a flip!!! Happy February everyone, how can I help you start crushing your goals? What are you doing to help others crush their's?!?! GO TO WORK!

Great job! I love to hear success stories. To add to the comment left by @Lynda Duke about luck, it reminds me of a quote from an all-time favorite book "Would you call a fisherman lucky who for years so studied the habits of the fish that with each changing wind he could cast his nets about them? Opportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes no time with those who are unprepared." 

- The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clawson

Another great quote that I like from the making of the animated movie Hoodwinked "When opportunity meets preparation, magic happens.

@Meghan McCallum To me, it seems like you have prepared yourself and positioned yourself to recognize the opportunities and how to capitalize on them when they come to you. So to give credit where credit is due, nice work.
