Well, I wasn’t able to save the deal, and it is now officially dead. I’m pretty sure that DB was just waiting for my time to run out, and I bet he’ll have an offer in on it today. With a little luck, maybe he’ll buy the property and the rest of the roof will cave in on his head. Just kidding. Kind of.
I got a counter back yesterday afternoon from one of the houses I offered on yesterday morning. This is shocking, as it usually takes them five years (give or take a year), to get a response from the bank. The bank countered @ 13k and I am trying to get it @ 10k. The house is in the hood, but it’s not in horrible shape, and I have a few guys who like this area, so I’m going to send both of them by today to see if they’ll bite. One of these guys bought a house from me on the same street last year for 27k. It needed a lot less work, though, and had 1 extra bedroom. We’ll see.
I’ve been trying to make at least 3 offers/day every day, but there really isn’t that much to choose from right now, so I’m continuing to work deals with a few of my wholesaler friends. I usually get at least one call/day from other wholesalers asking if I want to JV on deals with them. This is a good thing for me, especially when there isn’t much available on the mls…
Anyhoodle, that’s about all I’ve got for now. I’ve been a busy little bee working on stuff for the new blog (which should be ready to go by mid-July)…
Gotta run- I’m off to the gym. No excuses for me today..
P.S.
I found this video on the Zen Habits blog, which is my new favorite blog. Lots and lots of good stuff over there..
