Win-WinNow that you have this one under your belt, and before you are ready and capable of taking these down on your own, find another deal similar to this and before you find it, research strategies of how you can increase your profit through other alternative and creative means to wholesale it.For instance, rather thna double close the transaction and incur two escrow/title/recording fees, lock up the next contract in a trust and name your buyer as the beneficiary.

I only worked for two companies during that time so that allowed me to cross-train in all the different departments such as Searching, Customer Service, Policy and Prelim typist, Escrow Secretary, Receptionist and Title Secretary in the first company.Then I was recruited by a Sales Rep who opened his own company to set up his Word Processing Department where we used Display Writers (that should give you an idea of how long ago that was!)

But through creativity, I think we can make some serious money and am looking forward to it.
