The Deal:
Carlos acknowledges the importance of building good business relationships / friendships when doing wholesaling. In fact, one of the deals he got was from a friend on Facebook.
- A friend on Facebook reached out to him about a property in Newberry they would like him to purchase.
- The tenant left the property a mess so seller wanted to get rid of the property as soon as possible.
- Carlos was able to close the deal because he was able to solve the seller’s problem—seller wanted speed and Carlos was able to provide it!
