I wanted to share my first win because it’s a bit different. I had a deal under contract, but the seller was stuck in a messy probate. He was struggling, so I ended up lending him about $1500 over time to help with his expenses. Everyone told me I was being scammed and that I’d never see that money again. I had my doubts at times too. But I did trust the guy, and he was in a bad spot. Today, he paid me back $2000. He decided to back out of the house deal for now, but we’re still talking. Even though it wasn't an assignment fee, I made a $500 profit. It probably wasn’t worth it considering the time and stress, lol. I am glad I could help someone out though. I wouldn’t say lend money to random people. But keep grinding, trust your gut, and focus on the person, not just the property. Let’s hope for a 100x bigger profit on the next deal!

Let’s connect across the country. Drop your state + city in the comments — you might find a JV partner, dispo plug, or mentor right here. We’re not competing — we’re collaborating

Drop State + City below and I’ll share the buy box for that market + whether it’s worth focusing on. We're on the buyer / dispo side and always looking to JV on single-family deals. We've got hungry cash buyers in multiple markets actively buying. Let's close deals together in 2026

This JV deal came to me on the 19th of October closed today on the 28th. Moral of the story. You don’t have to do this business alone and if you stick to what it is that you do best there are ways to outsource what your not good at. Until then don’t loose deals over being greedy or too prideful to ask for help. Real estate is a team sport. Yes we are still closing wholesale deals in Philly 💪🏼
