The Life of Real Estate Investing: No Hype, No BS Real Estate Investing Strategies That Work In Any Economy. Antonio Edwards

we were, and saw the motivated seller in front of the house. I got to see firsthand Kris talking and negotiating with the seller. And the next thing I knew, we had a contract to buy at the house $38,000. We also had to pay off liens and judgments which amounted to about $10,000. That meant we will be in the deal for $48,000.

      I didn’t know values, but I knew $48,000 seemed a low price for a house. As a beginner, I didn’t have buyers’ list, but Kris knew someone who might be interested.

      Couple of days later, we went to meet the guy at the property and he said he is taking it at our asking price of $60,500.

      Wow! I just landed my first deal with a $12,500 profit!

      And the rest, as they say, is history.

      After that first deal, I was stoked and as a result, twenty something more landed on my table in my first year. I quickly developed my own “investing style” and my own systems so I can always have deals coming in consistently.

      I had found a new passion and it definitely brought in bigger and fatter checks.

      But don’t get me wrong.

      I have never looked at myself as a guru. I don’t believe I’ll ever see myself as one.

      I’m just an average guy who found his niche in the real estate business and made it a boom.

      One thing I’m sure of though, is that I can show you how to pick up a check at closing – a BIG one.
