Flip This Wholesaler

So, I have another Reader Mail video for you guys.

This week’s question comes from Jacob, who wants to know if I actually go out and look at every single REO property that I make an offer on… (The short answer, for those who don’t feel like watching the video is: NO.  But most of the time I do).

To get the extended version of my answer, please enjoy the video below…

If you have any questions about the video, feel free to ask away down yonder in the comments.

Oh, and because I know you’ve all been staying up at night wondering how my new retro ‘do turned out (and also because I wanted an excuse to wear a pink boa and pretend like I was auditioning for America’s Next Top Model), I took some pictures for y’all.

Here’s the pic I brought in to my hair cutter lady, in case you forgot:

And here’s a pic of my new ‘do…. (I don’t look this orange-y in real life, btw)…

And the one where I look like I’m about to cut someone. Tyra would be proud, I bet.

Hehe.

OK, that’s all I’ve got for now.

Gotta run- it’s time to make the doughnuts!

10-4, over and out…

P.S.
My attempt at running 88 miles this month has been temporarily thwarted by an unfortunate flip flop related accident that happened over the weekend. My back is a little hurty at the moment, but hopefully it will get better soon.

P.P.S.
For those of you who weren’t able to get in on the Red Pill course when it came out earlier in the year, it’s going to be available again next week. I’m on my 3rd time through the course as of right now, and all I can say is that it totally kicks ass.

How’s that for a product review?

You can get the first 50 minute module for free by clicking here.

Listen to it and let me know what you think.

Do you guys like how I said I was going to start posting more frequently, and then I didn’t post a thing all week?

I had one of those weeks where I woke up on Monday morning, blinked, and then next thing I knew it was Friday.  And I’m not even really sure what I did all week- it’s all kind of a blur.

The buyer from NY that I was supposed to meet up with on Monday ended up blowing me off, which made me really happy because I just LOVE having my time wasted.  I probably spent an hour on the phone with the guy talking about the market here and the different neighborhoods, blah, blah, blah.  Then lined up some deals for him to look at while he was here.  And then he just up and blew me off.  Awesome.

What else?

Murphy and I are in the middle of a deal that we thought was in the bag last year, but ended up falling apart at the last minute.  I think I mentioned it in a prior post but didn’t go into much detail…..  He has been working with a buyer from up North that is buying up all of the properties in this tiny little section of Tampa, with the intent of knocking the houses down and putting some sort of commercial property in their place.  They’ve already bought 4 or 5 houses in this area, along with some vacant land, and they are paying WAY more than your average investor would be willing to pay.  This is good for us, obviously.

So anyway, I hunted down one of the investors who owns several pieces of vacant land in the area where this group is buying, and sure enough, he was interested in selling.  We had the deal negotiated last year with us purchasing the lots for 89k, and selling to the out of state guys for 120k.  Weeeee!!!  And then the buyers decided at the last minute that they wanted to hold off, although I can’t remember what their reasoning was.  I think it was probably just to piss me off.  It worked.

As luck would have it, the out of state guys called Murphy a few weeks ago and said they were in buying mode again and asked him to bring them anything he could get his hands on in this little neighborhood.  The guy who we originally negotiated the sale of the land with is still interested in selling, and told us to make an offer.  We are just waiting on the buyers to give us a price so we know where to start.  They are supposed to have an answer  by Monday, so we’ll see.  I’ll crap my pants if it actually works out.

So that’s what I’ve got going on.

My quest to become a famous chef is still not going so well.  My latest creation, which I like to call “Olive Oil Overload” (O cubed, for short), quickly made it’s way into the garbage can earlier this afternoon.  I was actually thinking of starting up a cooking blog, but someone stole my domain name: EverythingICookTastesLikeShit.com.   Oh well.

Alrighty then, that’s all I’ve got for today, folks.

Have a great weekend Everybody!

P.S.
Fan me up on Facebook! All the cool people are doing it. Hehe.

P.P.S.
Is anyone else taking the Red Pill? I think it is phenomenal so far.
