Here's one of my first deals... a 4220 square foot executive home in one of the higher-end neighborhoods that was about a 30 minute drive away. It had 20 foot ceilings, beautiful open kitchen, huge front and back yards and a jacuzzi tub! I'm not supposed to be emotionally attached to a house, but I have to admit this one is very nice.

Regrettably, I had to let go of this beauty and make a handsome profit. That took 57 days.

And wait! Did I mention I did not even invest a single dollar in order to make this profit?

Here is another deal. It is not the prettiest house. In fact, it needed a lot of repairs, but hey, I don't plan to live in it, so who cares? The owners were very desperate to sell, they had serious tenant problems.

I never bought this house. I "sold the deal" to another investor who bought it.

I made a nice profit in 8 days with absolutely no money invested!

That's right, all I did was secure my "right" to buy the house without actually buying the bouse. Then I sold my "right to buy" the house to another investor.

I made a very nice profit, but the investor who bought the deal from me sold the house and made an even bigger profit than me!

You'll see exactly how you can do this later...

This one I actually bought and was my home for a while. The top 2 pics are the "before" pics. Notice the yellow walls and green carpet *yuck*. Luckily, my wife is an interior designer. Check out the bottom "after" pics... not bad, wouldn't you agree? But you wouldn't be able to guess how much the renovations were... less than $3000!

And because the seller's were highly motivated and I got such a good deal on this condo, I was able to increase the value by $55,833.90 when I let go of it 4 months later.

So with this "secret weapon" I was able to flip homes and also buy homes to live for my family.
