Closed On My First Deal!!

Dallas, TX · Member since 2018 · 43 posts · 54 votes
Just closed on my first Duplex in Fort Worth, Texas! Being a novice to the REI world. I wanted to tell how much of a God send the Bigger Pockets Team and The Members within have been for me. With the tools, educational forums, videos, and advice from the good hearted people of Bigger Pockets, I've been able to lock in my first rental within 6 months! My advice to New Members is to immerse yourself in the amazing educational material provided via Bigger Pockets. Reach out to members even to say "Hi" or "Thanks". You never know who can give you that motivation or piece of advice that takes you to your first deal and beyond. Big shout outs to #Ryan Blake #Patrick Hermans #Solomon F. #Sebatian Kressley #Paul Moore #Matt Faircloth, the Bigger Pockets team and anyone else that I may have missed. Thanks for the guidance no matter how small or big it may have been! Best Regards - Jason Toledo

Guys, you need to know how hard this guy has worked. If you just dedicate yourself to following through, you can make it happen. @Jason Toledo and I were on the phone last night talking over a very high dollar deal that has come his way. It may not be a go (still doing due diligence) but know that once you take the step, it can snowball.

MY ADVICE: 

1) Learn as much as possible. In the car, have a pod cast on. At home watch youtube videos, read books, browse forums. Out with friends and co-workers, tell them what you are looking to do (they may end up connecting you with someone to help you or even bring you a deal).

2) Surround yourself with people who are willing to give you good advice. Then double and triple check the advice you get.

3) Take the first step even if you are a little unsure. It will be a great learning lesson.

    Congrats jason! BP is a great resource indeed! Under agreement on my first place with my partner. BP has been the launch pad for both of us. Hoping to close on it soon!
