What Was Your First Real Estate Investment Deal? Share Your Video

As many of you know, we've been doing a bit of experimenting with video and we were hoping to get all of you involved as well.  With that in mind, we're hoping to put together a real estate investor's video diary, compiled of videos shared by you. 

This project will be posted to our BiggerPockets Blog, and we're hoping to get a lot of submissions; we'll be doing our best to promote the finished project, which means that those people who do share their stories will get the opportunity to get some great free PR.

Here's what you need to do:

- Create a 3-5 minute video that discusses your first real estate investing deal.  It doesn't matter what kind of deal it was -- buy/hold, rehab, wholesale, bird-dog, commercial, etc --all that matters is that you give some details about how it came about, what you did right or wrong, and ultimately, if you made or lost money with it.

- Please be sure to open your video with your name, location, the name of your company (if any), and be sure to mention that you're submitting it for the "BiggerPockets.com First Investing Deal Video Project."

- Do not use your video to advertise or promote your business.  If you do any form of promotion beyond the name of your company in the beginning of the video, we will not accept it.

- Upload the video to YouTube, and make sure it is embeddable.

- As long as the video meets our quality standards and the above conditions, we'll share it to our large national audience in a post that compiles all of these entries.

Please be sure to submit your Videos by Thursday, December 3, and notify us of the video using our contact form or by leaving the URL as a reply to this forum thread.

Please post any questions below.
