Should've been a $9000 check.
I was told to DRIVE AROUND.🚗
Which I was already doing (sales gig at the time, which I hated).
I was MOTIVATED!!!
Wife was preggo, kid on the way (Love you Chloe♥️).
Money was T I G H T, so I couldn't spend all day driving around.
I had to find a house that LOOKED like a deal.
Wish I had the "Driving for Dollars" guide when I started back then. Would've SAVED me countless miles, hours in a hot car (no A/C), 30 arguments with my Wife saying "It's NOT going to work!".
I didn't GIVE UP though.
...and after scouring the streets 40-11 times, BOOM, a house caught my eye.
It was UGLY.🏚️ (and vacant...the BEST leads)
I FLET it immediately. I knew I had something good.
I KNEW if I could get ahold of the owner, I'd have my 1st DEAL! 💰
....'cause the guy who taught me, told me the "magic phrase that pays". SO...
I looked up the address online, found the owner who lived in a town.
Wrote her a note, the "magic letter" (it's in the Classroom).
YES Jay, I'll take that deal", she said.
😖DAMN😖
I should've offered LESS.
3 days later, she mailed me the Agreement back, SIGNED.
17 hours later, I had a $500 check in my hands (the Deposit my Buyer gave me)
2 weeks later, I had a $3,000 Cashier's Check.
Which was already SPENT (thanks EX-wife 😂)
I KNEW, right when I drove through the US Bank drive through to DEPOSIT it, I'd NEVER go back to my "Sales" job again.
