I rarely mention my wins, but I've been using XLeads for 5 months now and within my 1st 60 days I closed two wholesale deals by switching to XLeads software! -Last month I closed a wholesale deal and picked up a $10,000 assignment fee. But honestly… the check wasn’t the biggest win. This deal reminded me of something I still can’t fully explain — that when you genuinely focus on helping the seller get what they need, and you’re willing to problem-solve, jump through hoops, and think outside the box, the deal has a way of working itself out. This one started completely randomly. I got a call through my CRM from a number I didn’t recognize. No name, no record — which almost never happens. I missed the call, called back, and found out how unusual this really was. Somehow, this seller found my business number — a number I don’t even put out there much. Turns out, he searched “AZ subject-to buyers in the East Valley” on ChatGPT, and my name came up. Here’s the twist: The seller is a professional NFL player. He played for the Cardinals and was recently signed by the Giants. He never lived in the property — it was a rental. He originally bought it subject-to and now needed out fast. He had a tech investment opportunity and needed $100,000 quickly, and this property was his least-performing asset. He asked if I’d buy it subject-to, so I brought in one of my subject-to buyers for a three-way call. That’s when reality set in. He needed his equity now, not over time. The numbers didn’t work for a subject-to structure. So, I stopped the call and told him honestly: “It sounds like what you really need is a wholesale exit.” After the call, he and I talked one-on-one. He was clear: If he could net $100,000, he’d sign the contract. I didn’t know for sure if I could make it happen — but I locked it up and went to work. Here were the numbers: - Purchase price: $350,000 - Mortgage owed: $250,000 - Needed repairs: $15k–$20k - Value: $450,000+ - Goal: Seller nets $100,000 I debated keeping it as my first flip. I asked trusted investors for advice. The consensus was clear: the market was slow for retail flips in that area — best move was a buy-and-hold investor.

GUYS!! THIS IS MY VERY FIRST CONTRACT!!! After calling the seller on Friday July 3rd, sending a, blank contract- for review over the weekend and having casual convos - he signed today. Yes, he did have a light question about me being a wholesaler because in Ohio you must have the seller sign a disclosure BEFORE the contract. I told him yes I am a wholesaler but it doesn't affect your payment and everything is done through the title company. He then said ok, send me the full contract and I said if I do, this means you are ready to move forward then he paused. He was thinking about the other Guys wanting to buy then he said he trusted me more, told me to call him today and it's done!!! By no means was my call perfect - I even stuttered but I didn't let my fear of him asking something I might not know stop me.
