Deal Log

One of the most exciting parts of real estate investing is watching a massive change unfold before your very eyes, turning a house with potential into a home with style! To do this requires patience and a lot of effort - not every house that goes under contract will close, and not everything will go according to the timeline! Here you can see a snapshot of all properties I've gotten under contract for, which have closed, and which have not.

Properties that did not close

Unfortunately, not every property you get under contract will close. But that's ok! Don't be afraid to walk away if the deal isn't right for you

October 2019

Duplex in Mooresville, NC

Source of deal: MLS

Deposit lost: $500

Fees paid: $1150

What happened: My usual inspector identified that the gas packs (heating/ cooling systems) needed replaced. The seller was only willing to come down half of what I asked, and with the added up front expenditures the deal became too thin

March 2020

Fourplex in Kernersville, NC

Source of deal: Off market (wholesaler)

Deposit lost: $0

Fees paid: $550

What happened: The inspection uncovered a lot of issues that would have cost around $30,000 to repair. The seller was willing to renegotiate, however with the tightened lending due to Covid-19 my partner and I were not comfortable moving forward

March 2020

6 houses in Statesville, NC

Source of deal: Off market (wholesaler)

Deposit lost: $0

Fees paid: $500

What happened: Shady-it turned out the seller was under contract with another buyer a month before I went under contract. The contract with the wholesaler had a loophole she took advantage of and she blindsided us with a notice that she was proceeding with the other buyer
