I bought a used stove, glass top, good price, excellent condition, almost new, $150.

The seller looks on websites like Zillow and sees there home is worth $380k.

This website is a great resource.

I am so, so, so excited to have found this website and podcast a couple months ago!

My major lessons on this one are: Be aggressive when you spot a good deal; If you can go above asking price and still make the deal work for you, do it; Consider offering large earnest money deposits to show that you're serious (I viewed property before delivering earnest money).

Hi Bigger Pocket Virginia Beach,I was having lunch and out of the blue I receive a notification on my phone of a motivated seller lead captured on my website.

The due date is the 1st, but on their website, it says that there's only a late fee if I pay on the 16th or after.

For this first deal we are using a cosigner who has excellent credit and excellent income.

Negotiations commence.8/16/16: Closed on two other properties in large part thanks to what I've learned on BP.9/16/16: After months of back and forth I'm at $18,000 and lien holder is at $3,500 for settlement.  

Excellent question @Nathan Kaminski,  I focus (almost) completely in downtown Columbia.
