Flip This Success Story- Chris Stewart Makes 3k on her First Wholesale Deal- Woohoo!

Thursday, September 30, 2010

Hola Amigos!

Sorry for the extended absence……my vacation ended up lasting a little bit longer than I had anticipated, but I’m finally back in the saddle and ready to roll.  So to speak.

Anyhoodle, I finally got the new Flip This Success Story uploaded to my site  (thanks for the help, Shae!), so you can all hear how Chris Stewart was able to land her first wholesale deal and put $3,000 in her pocket after 6 long months of beating the streets looking for that elusive first deal…

The call is about 42 minutes long, and I had to edit the crap out of it because the service I use to record calls is haunted (probably), and there’s this ghost/lady who comes on the line randomly while we’re talking and says “INVALID OPTION” really loud for no apparent reason.  She usually only shows up once during a recording, but this time she interrupted us like 5 times and every time it happened both me and Chris started busting up laughing and it just messed up the flow of the call. Five times.

Anyway, other than the IOG (Invalid Option Ghost), the call turned out great and Chris walked us through her first deal and talked about how it almost fell apart the day of closing and how she almost had to scramble around at the last minute to find a new buyer because her original buyer was not doing what he said he was going to do.

You’ll have to listen to the call to get all the details, so pull up a chair, grab a refreshing beverage and please give a warm welcome to Chris Stewart, wholesaler extraordinaire……

(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE FROM THE AUDIENCE!!!!!!)

Julie,
I almost linked to you earlier in this post when I said “crap”, but then I figured you were probably sick of me doing that, so I didn’t.

    Congrats on getting your first deal closed Chris! Do you happen to have the contact info for the company you used to create the website that brought you the lead on this deal?

    Thanks!

      Hi Armondo,
      Go to my website at 877y4close.com and scroll to the bottom. There is a link that will take you to the creator. Oh I also got a “talking lady” for free on my buying website and there is no monthly fee, the website is yours, you own it. Good luck!

    Thank you for interview it was great. Chris you really move when it came to that opportunity. I noticed you listed several investors regarding the information that you had read/reviewed. Which one moved you the most and can you tell me about the “yellow letter campaign”.

    Awesome! Congratulations!!!

    Chris. Welcome to the Elite. By doing your first wholesale deal, I’d feel safe in saying that by doing your first deal you’re already in the top 10% of anyone that’s ever been educated on real estate investing!

    What title company did you use. It seems as though finding investor friendly title companies in Houston is like pulling teeth and some kind of hush hush secret. Do you mind telling who you used for your deal? thanks!

      Hi Shawn,
      So sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t know people were still posting to this.
      Anywho, There are two title companies that I know of that are very investor friendly and one of them even holds investor events. They are Startex Title and Integrity Title. I know that Integrity does back to backs as well, not sure about Startex though.
      Hope that helps!
      Chris Stewart

    I too am getting close to my first deal. Found the house, found the buyer then the seller needed a contract to go to court with and now I have attorney calling me. Now I am calling investor to get this done. He needs to contact his friends to find the money. HELP!

      Congrats on getting your first one (almost) done!

      What specifically do you need help with?
