On January 1, 2000 I called on a mobile home listed in the paper for $6,500. During our conversation, I learned that they had just moved back home to Louisiana and the home was vacant. He informed me that the home would be able to remain in the park. I asked him at...

I am not sure if you would consider this for your “Success Stories” or not but, if nothing else, I wanted to write it as a “thank you” to you and all the inspiration that I have seen on this site. I have been silent for the most part for the...

Please accept a heartfelt “thank you” for this awesome site. I sincerely believe it is the extra encouraging push I sorely needed to do my first deal. I first became interested in creative real estate investing a little over a year ago when I ordered the...

Today, I walked out of the title company with a check for 12,081.50. I have done several deals, including lease options, but this is my biggest deal yet. (I am still a newbie.) I still can’t believe it. I simply put this property under contract for $50k and sold...
