About Me: 

I was working as a Finish Carpenter for 30 yrs and making a good living building big custom homes here in California. I married the girl of my dreams at 49 yrs old.Of course as we all know about 3-4 yrs ago construction crashed almost overnight. Unemployment funds lasted a few yrs. I decided to get involved with buying and selling notes. It took money to do direct mailings to contact note holders. I did make money though, sold a note and made $6,000 but it was a lot of work and time, I had spent over $1,000 on the lists of names and stamps etc, it was profitable. But then I seen Dean Graziosi on TV late one night and ordered his books and a few other guru's material. I've just completed 2 deals. It was a lot less work than doing the notes. I Got a pocket full of cash. I ordered business cards, yard signs, door hangers, web site, business phone line, new shoes and sun glasses and Im ready to get serious.

CL question

melinat's picture

Hi Rando congrats on your CL success!!! I have been running ads from home and I do get some responses from buyers but have a hard time following up/closing the deal with them. What do you say when they respond back to your add to find out what they can qualify for etc... Is there a form that you get them to fill out, do you refer them to a lender? Do you make an appt to meet witht them in person? Any information or tips you give can help out! Thanks

Bird dogs

Rando1's picture

I advertise for bird dogs on Craigs List. I get a lot of response cuz I'm willing to pay $1,000 for any deal they bring me. I have very few BD's out finding deals for me, most just fall by the wayside, gone with the wind. For u DG guys, u find us some deals and I'll walk u thru them and split the profits. I have a list of about 10 questions to ask the seller and I'll know quickly if I can do that deal. I have an info sheet that tells u exactly how to find the pre foreclosures Im looking for. These deals are everywhere. It just takes some effort and time to find them. Rando

Foreclosures Everywhere!

I have an offer in on a short sale in Oklahoma City. B of A says it will be 3 to 16 weeks before they accept. I offered their asking price, which is about half of what the owner paid for it 4 years ago. I can give you another lead or 2. Want to do a birddog contract?

Your Thread Was Deleted?

DualFace's picture

I just came back to make a comment on a thread you made just the other day (that was also on DG front page), and apparently it was deleted. Did you do this? Or did DG.com?

It was the thread with title, something of the sort:

"He Is Now Believing?" Ugh, I cannot remember the exact title...
