Thanks Joshua Dorkin and John Moore. Just got back and we are having a baby girl! But back to the numbers. I got a hit off my squezz page of a seller that was a younger college student and he was working 60hrs a week on top of being a landlord to the property he wanted to sell as well as the other side of his duplex that he lived in. He was also planning on going to school full time in the fall and just wanted to get out of it. It was a 2 bathroom 1 bath and was worth about 20k ARV and I loocked it up under contract for 2500. Then I made one phone call to someone I actually met from BP and met him at a starbucks on my way home. I assigned the contract to him for 7000 and finialized it today. Made a quick profit of 4500 and called it a day. Win Win Win for everyone since the buyer can rent out the place for 600 a month with no repairs needed for just a rental, seller got out of his property and can focus on other things, and I got paid.

Haha Exactly right Eric Hettena and thank you very much. With only 4 months to go I think the smell of motivation is being replaced by urgency and action which is a pretty powerful thing!

Thanks Dawn A. Im no where near successful yet. I just listen to Joshua Dorkin Todd Toback Sean Terry and Eric Thomas and do what they say to do. Maybe one day I will be at that level and be able to help others on a bigger scale.

Congrats Junior Salters! Its truly a blessing in so many ways. If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe or (in our case) Provide our family with the life we want to give them. We can take it!

Cameron Parker - You'd be surprised. You are absolutely in a position to help others out. There are countless others here who haven't done a single deal -- your experience would be incredibly helpful to many of them.

Pay it forward. . . answer questions from the new investors here and you'll certainly motivate them. People love learning from people who just went through what they are.
