Flip This Wholesaler

Well, I’ll be darned if it hasn’t been an entire week since I’ve written a blog post.  Sorry about that.

So, what the heck have I been up to?

Working my ass off, for the most part.  Also running my ass off.  I think I’m probably in the best shape right now that I’ve been in since I don’t even know when.  8th grade, maybe.  So, I’m pretty happy about that.

Oh, also, I’m being stalked by the Census Bureau.  Holy crap man, those people mean BUSINESS.

They came knocking on my door yesterday, which scared the living shiitake out of me since no one ever comes knocking on my door.  The building I live in is like Fort Knox, or what I imagine Fort Knox to be like, anyway….. you have to get through 3 layers of security to even get in the elevators, and then once you get on the elevator you have to have a special code to get onto each floor.  So anyway, when I got a knock on my door I automatically assumed it was a Ninja coming to assassinate me.  Who else could it be?  Although now that I think about it, I bet Ninjas don’t even bother to knock.

As it turns out, it was Jim from the Census Bureau who asked if he could come on in and conduct a 5-8 minute interview with me.  I politely declined because I don’t usually let strange men into my home even if they come under the guise of Census Bureaudom. He told me they would call me back today and conduct the interview over the phone, but instead they have been calling me every 5-10 minutes since he left my doorstep.  Seriously.

I guess that will learn me to throw my census papers in my “I’ll get to it later when I have some spare time” pile.

Which looks like this in case you were wondering….

Side view:

Did you ever imagine me to be so organized?

So other than getting harassed by the Census Mafia, and running my ass off, I’ve also been hitting the MLS and making lots of offers.  I took a break for a long while there, and was just working deals with my wholesaling buddies, but now I’m back in MLS-offer-making-mode.

I’ve got one short sale that I think I’m going to get accepted this week.  That’s what the listing agent told me anyway.  It’s listed in the 60s, but the agent said if I made an offer of 40k she could make it happen.  You’d be surprised at the info you can get from some of the agents if you just ask.

I’m also working on another JV deal with Murphy that I think one of my hood buyers is going to take.  It’s a cheap piece of crap, which is this guy’s specialty, so I’m waiting to hear back from him on that.  I’m actually headed back out to that property as soon as I’m finished writing this post to see if I can rescue the kitty that the previous scumbag owners left outside when they moved out.

Anybody in the market for a kitty?  She’s orange with white stripes and fleas.  Any takers?

So, that’s about all I’ve got for now folks!

Later alligators!

P.S.

I forgot to mention that I’m doing a free Q&A training call with Drew Downs this Saturday, May 8th at Noon EST!

If you missed the webinar we did last week, or if you have questions about wholesaling short sales or REOs, or how to find cash buyers in your market, or how to locate the hot zip codes in your city, or if you got Drew’s course and need clarification on any topics, this will be your chance to pick his brain and get your questions answered!  I already have my list of questions ready to go….

See ya there!

P.P.S.

Don’t  forget to stop by here Monday @ 8pm, to discuss this month’s Book Club selection: Influence, by Robert Cialdini.  My good friend Shae Bynes (who is much better at writing book reviews than I am), will be guest posting, so make sure to stop by and throw in your 2 cents.  Or however many cents you’d like to throw in.

P.P.P.S.

Speaking of Shae Bynes, if you guys haven’t been over to her blog lately, she just announced that she’s taking the leap and LEAVING THE RAT RACE once and for all!

Congratulations, Shae!
