Isn’t it funny how much of life transpires in between our well laid plans 🤷‍♂️

Quote from @Alicia Marks:

The first one is always the hardest! My first wholesale deal I got from a lead my aunt sent me. She met a lady at a rest stop coming back from snowbirding that was tired of the trip!

Thank you so much that was super nice.  All of this is just so new and way out of my comfort zone.  I think once i have a full year under my belt the hook will set and then i can really start to learn and achieve more.

Well before I got it it made around 55K.  If as a newbie i can do something like that I would be super happy.  I'm the wait and see type, always have been.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Going on vacation.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I found out about Avery Carl at a hockey game of all things as well as bigger pockets. I thought someone else has the same idea, maybe i can learn something. Who knew.

How did you finance this deal?

DSCR HELOC

How did you add value to the deal?

Minor updates

What was the outcome?

I have someone checking in today.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Yesterdays guest didn't check out until last night. So i'm learning by my second guest.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Carly Couch from the Short Term Shop was my agent and she is fantastic.
Johnny Vang from the Mortgage Shop was my DSCR guy and he was fantastic as well.
Kaitlin Thornberg (Mortgage Shop) was also a pleasure to deal with.
Avery and Luke have assembled a team of "Rock Stars" to quote their term. I just can not say enough nice things about them all. They are not paying me for the six out of five stars review either. Semper Fi

My mother had dual citizenship in the US and Ireland.  I'm not sure if the US does that but maybe try that route.

Congratulations Todd on your new investment.  I just went live this month with my first as well.
