HI Guys...So I follow Jerry Norton (the guy is really a flipping genius) and he's the one that got me where I'm currently at as a real estate investor and I'm ecstatic about it and finally purchased a great deal for myself to flip in beautiful Oklahoma, but the reason i'm writing this thread is that I'm a member of his lot flipping program and I'm pretty good at following instructions & catching on rather quickly, but i've noticed I can't get past finding a lot for the man since i keep getting 'negative results' (which I interpret it to mean that even if the lot is given away for free...the deal would not work?)
