Finding my own deals

Yoni Rios

Posted

Hi everyone. I’m a new investor. I currently own 10 doors. 8 currently on section 8 in the high desert in California (southern, CA) .

The other 2 currently rehabbing (brrrr) strategy.

I got my first 8 doors through MLS(traditional purchase). The other 2 through a wholesaler. I thank God I'm in a position to buy more RE (1-2 more) by the end of the year but every deal that I run numbers on seems too damn skinny. No damn meat on the bone at least with the calculation from BP which I'm using. I'm looking for small multi units. I made the decision to find my own deals. Cold calling isn't a big deal for me since on my traditional business I do it but I wanted to get some direction. From anyone who is currently doing it.

I just purchased PropertyRadar and hear really good things on deal machine so getting that as well. Just wanted to get some help from either successful wholesalers who are already doing the game (successfully) or investors who find your own deal. Maybe not all your secrets but pointing me the right direction. I’m new to RE but I’m loving it. Maybe flip a deal or two through the process but my main focus is long term generational wealth so seeking my passive income.

If anyone can help it would really mean a lot.

Thank you in advance.

@Joe Splitrock Hahahaha. I read that thread. I was with you but it’s hard for me to remember now what you said. I bet if you check votes you’ll see me voting for you.

 To answer your question John- he has no experience in real estate and watched some Tai Lopez courses on marketing and thinks he is a guru.

I ran a property search and he has no registered company nor has he ever done deals.

0) Sighhh...

1) I never said I am a guru

2) I said I am the immortal overlord monkey bend on taking over this world with my army or robotic minions!

3) Your accusations and attacks on me are getting really boring. I already wiped the floor with your 

Yet you just can't let it go nor can you simply apologize. Dude you were wrong. Let it go no?

(if you simply did I would set aside a few hours of my day and I would be happy to teach you how to do SEO so you get some/more clients). 

4) You are not accusing me to protect the little BPers from the fake mean old monkey guru. You have been actively stalking my every post following me around attacking and harassing me trying to  "expose" me as a fake. We both know that the only reason you do it is because you offer SEO services... and my posting of my results make you feel insecure? Dude seriously I can teach you man!!

From my first post where I showed my results like this:

you have been trying to discredit me, and try to convince everyone I am a fake. The more proof I showed I am legit, the more frustrated you got. Till you reached this point where now you were simply stalking my every post demanding I showed you how many properties I owned and how many deals I closed, (as if this has ANY indication how amazing my SEO mind is, how fake or real I am, or how successful I am).

Now I showed prooof I DO have REI experience, I DO flip houses and now you are going to attack me if my company is registered? And what does that prove again? So if my company is not registered I am a fake? Do you know HOW many people don't have an LLC yet they flip or wholesale? Dude I hate to embarrass you but you really are begging me to clean the floors again.

So I flip...

then flip some more

I wholesale:

and wholesale some more..

And I buy and hold: 



See my SEO is so right on, I get to buy houses at $5,000.- a pop!

Have you never noticed? Every claim I have EVER made is always backed up by pictures, numbers graphs proof!

There is absolutely no need to lie, or manipulate. Now if you are done trying to fight with me, I am a better friend than an enemy. Try me!

So are we done?

Please?
