Wholesale deal that no one else bit on.  The deal sat for a few days - which is rare in our area.

Hi all, Kyle O'Keefe from Fort Worth Texas.

I started my Real Estate investing adventure in 2002.  I was a High School math teacher - beat down by politics of the school system and sitting in a classroom (with NO windows) all day long.  But I loved the summers!

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad - a must read!  I'm halfway through the book and my next door neighbor told my wife they were going to sell their house.  I walked out and said, "I'll take it!"  Let the adventure begin.  After draining my bank account on the down payment and rehab, I secured a renter and began getting my first mailbox money.  And I was HOOKED!

Fast forward to 2014, and I'm "retired" from a job and investing full time.  After a short identity crisis and mild depression brought on from self doubt of spending my mornings in the weight room in a sleeveless shirt, I accepted the fact that real estate really can buy your time back... AND IT IS GOOD!

Still evolving through real estate, now lending private hard money and doing commercial deals.  

Real estate is the best and love meeting up with similar minds that are crushing life and want TIME FREEDOM.

Love to travel!!!!, do Ironmans, and cherish and love my family and kids with all my heart!

Home runs do happen...  2 phone calls, $10k!

Sometimes the timing is right and a quick turn falls into place.  They don't happen everyday, but proof that staying active in the market will payoff.  

Checking the market with frequency will help you to become an expert in your area and allow you to catch a quick turn when it comes up.  You don't need to study the market for hours everyday, 7 days a week.  But 5-10 minutes a few times a week will definitely pay off.  You will begin to see opportunity, and more importantly gain confidence to act on them quickly.

Here's the latest home run, and a great way to finish out 2018:

Went under contract on December 10, 2018 for a standard 3 bed 2 bath house at about 4pm.  Signed a contract to sell the deal for +$10,000 4 hours later.  

These deals are out there.  Stay sharp and keep looking!
