First Atlanta Wholesale Deal Completed!!!

[Morris Lucas]

So after almost 2 years of reading books, asking a millions questions on BP, going to REIA meetings, listening to podcasts....IT"S DONE!!

Closed on my first Wholesale deal in Dekalb County, Ga. It was very surreal looking at the check i received, knowing it came from months and months of learning, setbacks, confusion, patience and hard work!! Best part is i provided a great service to the seller who couldn't WAIT to close and move to live with her children.

I must say, I never would have got to the finish line without Biggerpockets and the resources that are here. It sounds crazy, but as soon as the seller accepted the offer, everything I learned on this site and from books just all "made sense" in that very instance....I immediately saw a million other strategies(hard money, flipping to retail) that I could have applied. It was definitely a difinitive moment, and I kept thinking (ahh, NOW i REALLY get why people spend so much energy and money to get to speak to these sellers directly...)

Important things i can say is 1)marketing does work if it is consistent and 2)to use BP for the potential relationships, tools and knowledge it has to offer to close your deal!

Thanks to all who gave me great advice on this site and who i learned from, Ned Carey, Jerry Puckett, Sharon Vornholt, Danny Johnson, Bruce Duval, Ann Marie Poe and Lisa Phillips to name a few, and everyone else who answered a billion questions i had! You guys rock!

On to the next one!!!
