I JUST CLOSED MY FIRST DEAL !!!!!!!

[Dwaun Elam]

I just closed on my first deal today!!! I can't believe I did it. I would like to thank all of investors on biggerpockets that helped me when I had questions. Picking up the check in the morning and then picking up my bandit signs. Gotta Keep it going. :D

[Don Chambers]

Congratulations!

How did you find your buyer?
I have several rentals, but know I have contracts on 2 houses I intended to flip. I am considering wholesaling them but I don’t really know other investors.

@ Mark
Good luck in your endeavors, keep at it and come here and ask questions.

@ Don
I found my buyer from craigslist, craigslist is a good place to post your properties this is where alot of investors are looking for deals. Also try Postlets this site actually gives you a nice template to post your home on craigslist.Best of all this is completely free.

Fantastic, Dwaun, you should definitely be commended on multiple fronts:

* You did research initially that cost you NOTHING.
* When you wanted to dive a little deeper, you went to Ebay to purchase some info at pennies on the dollar.
* You figured out how to use Postlets, create a nice ad, market effectively through CL, etc.
* You didn't give up when you hit some setbacks on your deal. You kept your wits and determination, got creative, went back to the seller, pushed through. Just awesome.

I predict........ you will do well, my friend!

I'm working on my first deal in a few years..things have changed in the market..so wish me luck. I'm wholesailing a bank property presently I'm reviewing properties ,price and comps..I feel like I can't make a mistake with this. I know I got to make offers on a lot of properties before I get one excepted by the bank..I want to make sure I have a buyer to purchase once we have an approved offer.. Can anyone help me refresh my self on how to prepare for my back up buyer?

Sorry to say this, but with a question like do you really think you should be classifying yourself as "Real Esate Coach" as you do in your profile?
