I having been driving for dollars every day in march. KC has so much available inventory it's crazy. 

Anyway, I found a property on 3/1, mailed the owner on 3/3 on 3/7 she called. She was truly motivated and we put it under contract today. At first i was super nervous trying to explain everything but then i realized i was helping her solve a problem and that made me feel more confident. She is happy, I'm happy and it's a true win-win.  

I hope this inspires someone to just go out and do it. Driving for dollars works!

@Tony Mai yes sir...i recently came back home.  I been trying to update my profile but its not that easy.  This was in KCMO, in 64131 zip code, Center school district if you are familiar.  Im pumped about it.  We just sold a home 1 month ago in the same area and my acquisition cost was 3x what this one is under contract for!

@Leah Bonner I talk to everybody.  The next door neighbor of my current flip used to come by and bother me like everyday making sure we were doing a good job.  Once she saw we were serious she let us into her world.  She used to work at the recorder of deeds office.  She does title searches for us now, she also has a ridiculous amount on contact for things like section 8 and hud.  We offer to pay her but all she wants is a TV...unreal!  You really never know how you might meet...TALK TO EVERYONE!
