I'm real curious and I think I have the correct category. How many of you have found a deal here on BP from someone you didn't know and actually done a deal? Purchase, sale, JV, loan etc. I've tried with both Will Barnard and John Andre and would've been very happy with it. I'm currently close with 2 other BP members. This is one of the big reasons we have this board. List your experiences and scale of satisfaction. 1-10. This should help us to find the legit members and the ones to be cautious with. What do you think? Rich.


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


Great idea Rich! This is something that should have been done a long time ago and it will help both newbies and us seasoned pros know who are the real players, and who are just the talkers.

Thanks Will and thanks for the vote!! I never knew how that worked!!! Rich


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


I was unable to actually close on a deal with Rich Weese here on BP, but by no fault of either of us. The seller moved on another buyer just 2 days before so it was ONLY a time issue that prevented us from getting the deal together, however, that experience, and a few after showed me (and proved to me) that Rich is not only a real player, but a great business man and a gentlemen. (Hard combo to find these days!)

I am very close with several others here on BP and once the deals are complete, I will post them here as well.

Thanks again for the thread Rich and I look forward to many deals together in the near future!

I'm not sure if this counts, but I found my mentor on BP (Nick Johnson) and we just closed our first deal together yesterday. We close our second deal together next week! Both will be shortsale flips.

I just did a short sale with a BP member, He profited 35k after commission/fee's and it was split 50/50 with me. My funds of almost $17,500 were transferred this morning and will post at 2pm.

We have another supposed to be closing next week and just this morning offered it to another BP member who's contacted me about purchasing properties in the Phoenix area, this particular property if sold to this BP member will be done so at 55% ARV.

We're waiting to hear back from the BP member today or Monday, then that will be two deals with 3 of BP members involved.

edit: It looks like Justin beat me to the punch in posting


Rehabber · Chandler, Arizona


Will-

Yes! Sorry about that, I did get a lead from you and hope to close it out in a couple of months.

Rich,

I have a partner that is currently working the Cape Coral and Ft. Myers areas.

We have a purchases 35 new units and 56 improved lots. Currently looking for other steals as well, commercial, land, ocean front, etc. But our focus is residential new standing inventory. Bank owned, in default usually works best.

I would like him to meet with you if possible to see if there is a possibility of helping each other in that market?

Heh Chris,
Are you sure that wasn't 42 units and 56 additional pads? I looked at that project if it was Pine Key condos on Hancock Creek. Was it?


Residential Real Estate Agent · Syracuse, New York


Rich,

The area Englewood. The condos were Hebblewhite Court and the lots in Arlington Cove.

Rich - Please start a new thread to discuss. As you know, this thread is about people's successful connections that have led to deals. Thanks.

It's working out well so we'll probably do another one.

Probably not a coincidence that the ones doing deals with BP members are those yhat post regularly on BP, respond promptly and have many influence points. Rich.

Very good point Rich! Perhaps that should be a clue to other members wanting to be active investors to get more involved in BP and invest more time here.

some of us are even losing deals on BP

http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/56/topics/34615-well-i-guess-you-can-t-win-them-all

all the same though, still have others in various stages. Maybe one day I'll do a big deal with Rich or an REO flip with Will someday soon:)

I know to stay out of Ohio b/c MikeOH will probably put me to work mowing the yard at one of his properties LOL!


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


No Nick, you would have to remove one of the crack attics from the basement!

Anyways, back on point, whenever you are ready, I am here. I'm still waiting for you to take me up on my offer to do deals in your backyard with you too!
