Quote from @Brendan Lim: Hey everyone, I'm a first time real estate investor looking to close my first deal in Columbus, OH.

It sounds like you're in a solid position, and taking the time to stabilize before moving on to the next deal is a smart approach.

Wholesalers network and post deals there most of the time.

I focus more on connecting with investors who already have deals in the pipeline or are looking for deals but need funding for their deals. 

I have a unique deal that the property owner is just wanting the builder to build him a home for "free" and he will sign over the land.

But by thinking beyond the traditional wholesaler mindset and focusing on off-market acquisitions, this deal turned into an easy win.Not all motivated sellers are dealing with distress.

I built something to make deal analysis easier, and I’m pretty proud of it.

I’d like to discuss it with a realtor, but I’m worried that if I disclose the deal, the realtor could bid against me on the property.

@Fara Heath  Just curious, how did this deal work out?

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.
