Going on the first face to face with a seller in years, even after getting 2 deals to the table, this one was tough.Stating the obvious, there is no replacing "the number" but I literally didn't have it in me to say it at that moment.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Is the normal practice in wholesaling to analyze a deal -> find a buyer -> then offer the price to the seller and form agreement?

I've seen too many that prey on newbies and set them loose on the world, begging for "no money down" deals. 

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."  

It's the only that I can affordable How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I’m diving into real estate investing with a focus on rental properties, and I’m looking to connect with like-minded investors, lenders, and partners.A little about me:•I’m currently working on securing my first rental property and seeking a strategic partnership with an investor willing to fund the deal while I handle the operations.

Quote from @David Kendall Jr: September 3, 2024, marked the day my wife and I analyzed our first deal.

Some of our deals took 1 to 3 years or more but when we landed them ( being that timber is a high profit business) these were 6 figure net deals..
