I want to sell my neighbors house.

[Joshua Dees]

Hello all! New to BP, new to RE, I'd like to become a Real Estate investor one day, so some flips and also acquire some rental properties, both residential and commercial. As of now I have 0 properties. I am a Pawnbroker, I work at a large-chain, familiar name Pawn Shop. Fast Forward, because I'm on my lunch break here, my neighbors need to sell their house fast. it's in a GREAT neighborhood in Wylie, Texas. Great Schools, playground and community pool. Catch and Release fishing seconds from your front door (community pond) the house won't last long. they are 2 houses down from us, our house was on the market 2 days. and we over bid in order to get it. prime location. husband, wife and 5 kids. house has been cleaned, painted and staged. Good to Go. I was talking to him about my dreams of working for myself one day and getting into Real Estate, to which he replied, "Can you sell my house?" I'd like to try. However, I don't just wanna call one the number on the next "I buy homes for cash" sign by the the road, and miss out on something cool here. if I have a person, who has a problem, who needs a solution, what is there to gain besides good karma? meaning: Is there ANY way I can get any kind of skin in on this deal? is it wrong for me to think like this? Is there any way to make this, like "My first deal was actually helping out a friend" - Type story??? ANY FEEDBACK/ COMMENTS, CONCERNS, SUGGESTIONS/ ADVICE IS SOUGHT AFTER Thank you so much for your time -Josh
