After struggling the first couple of months to get a deal I was frustrated and down. I was working a full time job and felt like nothing I was doing was working. I was putting out bandit signs, sending out home made mail to potential sellers, passing out business cards and driving for dollars.
Aaron kept my motivation high, reassured me that I was doing the right things, and really just pushed me to keep moving forward. Then in the 4th month of me starting, I finally was able to get a home under contract and ended up making $3100 on my first deal.
Since then, I have closed on three other deals and have two more currently under contract that will total over $30k (not counting the two I haven’t closed yet) in a little over 6 months.
Aaron was a great weekly sounding board and I have always felt more confident after speaking with him. He was always positive, but would shoot me straight if he felt I could do something differently or better. I came in to the program looking for a mentor and left with a friend. I will be forever grateful to the Schlags for the help and support they gave me.
congratulations!!!!
Hello Adel,
Your success story gives me hope and inspiration. I too am having problems getting going and being successful at RE investing. I now realize I am going to have to hire a mentor to get me over the hump to making my first deal. Once I get past the first few deals, I know I can make it on my own. Take care and keep moving forward.
Bye for now,
Robert
Congrats. Hard work paid off at the end. Did you wholesale or flip?
Adel, great job in staying persistent in the face of a lack of results. Also great job, accepting the direction from your mentor. You can do it and it is there for us!
