I made easy money and I QUIT

My first ever real estate phone call turned into my first ever deal. 

It came from online marketing. I never sent a single letter. I never went driving for dollars. I have never cold called anyone. I set up a landing page and paid about $50 in google ads and the phone rang. 

I wanted it as a BRRRR but ended up letting it go as a wholesale deal when another investor approached me and offered a $6,000 assignment. The next week a check showed up from his attorneys office for $6,000.

That was my last deal, over 2 years ago. I made six grand in two weeks and walked away and didn't look back.

Why?

I felt like I achieved success on my first swing. I was afraid of what came next. I knew that would likely never happen again, so I shut it down.

I went back to my business in trucking and felt comfortable there. I'm working 70 hours a week and while I make great money, I have no time for my wife and three children. 

Anyway, I am glad to be here and I look forward to networking with you.

-Jeff
