Millionaire in the Making – Donald Candys

I’m excited. A lot of people do not know what I am about to tell you next and I just want Ron and his whole office to know this and how much I appreciate you all.

I bought Ron’s old book in 2007. I was a collection agent who was broke because I was going through a child custody battle. I read the chapter on wholesaling, that’s it. I hooked up with a lady named Phyliss Rockower and found Ron at home and talked to him. He said get my new book, it’s like a course. I got the book and found a testimonial in the manual from a man in Anaheim, CA near me. I found him and he recommended an escrow officer and told me Ron’s training really work.

I started out living in a commercial office space I converted into studio apartment. My first deal was a small 2 bed room house with a small unit in back and it was vacant. Everyone was looking for the owner leaving business cards on the door. I followed Ron’s system to the letter to find the missing owner. I did a state wide search, came up with a relative’s name, and called. It as the owner’s wife! She gave me the number and I finally got a hold of the right person.

The house had an $80k loan on it. I talked to the owner and asked if he wanted to sell, to which he said yes. Then I asked (following Ron’s advice) “If I paid all cash and closed quick, what is the least you would accept?” The owner said $150k. “I said is that the best you can do?” and he replied “Maybe $130k.” I said “Are you sure? I want to pay all cash now, how about $120k all cash?” The owner said yes! I fell off my chair because I couldn’t believe it. I said to myself, Lord is this really happening?!?!?

I made an appointment to see the owner in 45 minutes. I got dressed, got in my Volvo and blew a head gasket, which killed the engine. I called a cab and had him let out at the beginning of the owner’s block so I could walk up. I put the house under contract at $120k, all cash, and caught the bus home. I faxed the contract to my escrow officer, and she walked me through everything. I sold the contract to a cash buyer for $130k all cash minus $2,400 in taxes. I paid half for the seller and took home $8,200 in 13 days. That was my first deal back then in 2007. I bought a used Mercedes, all cash, and got a 1 bedroom apartment.

I went on to earn $1.5 million bucks and bought a home in Seal Beach, CA. I was rollin’!

Then…….

My mother got a rare cancer. I sold my home and put every dollar to save her. 5 years later, I was broke fighting the hospital, but my mom had the surgery and is now cancer free. She had to have this medicine which was chemo in pill form that cost $3,000 a month.  If I had not followed Ron’s course back then, I would not have had the money to save my mother, the only person who believed I could buy a house with no money.  RON THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Now I’m trying to start again. I went to a site and got every abandoned and vacant home in Los Angeles county, 600 homes total. I have done the skip tracing and found every owner and their phone number, cell number and email address. I even have their relatives’ info to leave a message.

I will be making my calls this weekend and, plus, I am a Gold Club member now. Please wish me luck this time! I don’t just want to make money, I want to kill it and just take care of my mother and my kids and make sure they have everything.

Ron thank you for help saving my mother’s life. I will see you at the top.

Thank you,

Donald Candys

    Thank you everyone. My mother now has dementia and I am her full time caregiver.

    Oh by the way Donald,
    How many other deals have you done since this one? It would be interesting to find out what other deals you have so we can all learn from you experience and perhaps use that knowledge to help ourselves make us successful. Thank you and take care.
