--> 00:03:53.360 So you were doing general prospecting and you found this buyer. 00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:01.120 She wanted market value for a beat up property, but then basically you saw how much it needed in work and you started negotiating with her. 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.240 That's yeah. 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:15.199 So once I saw it from there, we did disclose that it's for my purposes to purchase the condo because you have to disclose if you're buying the property for yourself. 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:26.720 So before we even negotiate, I did and Alex, we did tell her that we're buying this for ourselves, which she completely understands. 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:32.879 It did take a while to negotiate just because she wanted market value on her place. 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:43.439 But once we show her the comms, the conditions, everything, then she came to realize, like, okay, I won't get market value for my place. 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.639 Exactly. 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.480 And I mean, she just has it laying around, not really doing anything. 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.800 So no, no, and that's the reason she was interested in selling, because she's not living there no more. 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.000 She's living in Florida. 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:54.800 Gotcha. 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.279 She wasn't even renting it out, like not at all. 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.120 It was just sitting there, as just collecting dust, dust, getting worse and worse condition and stuff. 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.279 So yeah, you had a motivated seller there saying, Yeah, if I could just get rid of this for a good price, and that's it. 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.680 And how long did it take to negotiate the price? 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.279 It took one to two weeks, I'll say, to negotiate. 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:15.920 Okay. 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.079 And then from there we signed contracts. 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:19.120 Awesome, man. 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.519 So con wow, you guys did that pretty fast. 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:23.120 Oh, yeah, it was pretty fast. 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.399 She was motivated to sell, and also we show her the the facts. 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.439 Right, exactly. 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.399 You always gotta go in with facts and kind of like say, like, this is how I ride to this number. 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.240 Like, come on, let's make it happen. 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.639 Yeah, we both want this, you know. 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.319 And from there, you started the loan process. 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.199 Oh, yes. 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:42.480 Loan process. 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.600 Don't be scared of those documents you're sending. 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.920 What documents did you have to send? 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:56.079 Um, we had to send her basic uh the uh bank statements as well as your 1090 1099 form. 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.160 And that's because you're an independent contractor? 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.360 Yes, that's why you got your credit score and then some other copper documents you have to send her. 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.720 Yeah, I'm pretty sure you had to send even more documents because you're not W 2. 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.399 No, yeah. 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.000 So for W 2, it's more like it's more stable. 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.199 Like you know exactly what you're getting in and out every month. 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.120 For an independent contractor like yourself, it varies, right? 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.480 Like one year you can be making 15,000, the next year you can be making like a hundred thousand. 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.000 Oh, yes, yeah. 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:33.600 And I'm sure Heidi and her team have like a way of averaging those to kind of like see how much you qualify for. 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.040 But um, yeah, I know that they probably asked you for a lot more documents and stuff than a W-2. 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.240 And how was that process of the loan? 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.759 Like, once you got the offer accepted, you you um accept those contracts? 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.279 Yeah, so once we sign the contracts, we order the appraisal. 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:58.399 Basically, the appraisal it gives their their own opinion, what is worth of the place, yeah. 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:07.519 And as well, we order title to see if a title is clean, which it was clean, and also the uh appraisal came in very well. 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:15.439 They actual conditions, and basically uh what we submitted is what it went, you know, went through with the deal. 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:30.399 Yeah, no, absolutely the appraisal came back good, so there was no having to negotiate further in price and stuff because sometimes when there's a gap and it's like it comes at a lower price, then it gets it gets a little heavy because then the seller's gonna think, oh, you're ripping me off. 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.560 Yeah, this and that you're getting a good deal. 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.240 So yeah, exactly. 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.879 But it's like what the bank values the property at it's not the thing that you can control, yeah. 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.360 So I get you, and then you have to get insurance, home insurance, yes. 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.360 You definitely gotta see what's included in the the plans, that's what who gives you the best uh rates, yeah. 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.399 On an insurance, yeah, man. 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.959 Yeah, like you said, you have to go over that with your attorney, I think. 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.240 Mostly it goes to Heidi. 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.839 Yeah, it goes to Heidi. 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:11.839 Because I know a lot of the time when we're doing transactions and stuff, they'll be the ones who recommend like home insurance, like either them or the attorney. 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.560 But

um the attorney does the the check the title. 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:22.399 Yeah, checks the title, makes sure it's everything is clean, and that's why your agent usually sends in like clear one of the conditions being clear title. 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.519 I mean, yeah, clean title. 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:35.440 And if any violations and stuff pop up, you're obligated, you can step away if you know there's uh violations and stuff that are not taken care of. 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.039 Oh, you never buy a house that has violations, yeah. 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:44.799 Unless it's a good deal, and uh you're open to to clear those violations and go ahead. 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.679 But if it's your first time buying a house, never ever buy a house. 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:55.440 Unless you're very confident in in closing out those things at your own risk, you know? 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.840 Because it could still be a good deal, right? 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:05.919 It's just like the headache of going with departments and some stuff, because sometimes depending on the depending on the county that you're in, right? 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.360 It can be a hit or miss with the department of buildings and all of that. 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:09.840 Yeah. 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:10.720 Oh yes. 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:11.200 Right. 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.559 It could be a long journey, long headache as well. 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.480 You're gonna spend a lot of money. 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.440 Oh yeah. 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.720 Oh yes. 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.759 You gotta make sure everything is up to code, and if it's not, then they gotta do a reinspection. 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:33.840 You gotta waste more money on fixing things, and hopefully, when they come back the next time, they come back at a reasonable time and not delay it for god knows how long. 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.879 Uh so you really want to make sure that honestly, it comes out with a clean title, so you don't have to worry about that. 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.080 But yeah, once you once you went to the closing table, you have to sign a lot of documents. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.759 There was a lot of documents you have to sign. 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.320 Mostly it was with the loan. 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.039 You had to uh do your signature. 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.200 There's a lot of signature that my hands did get uh it was a little uh hurt, tired. 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.960 Yeah, but yeah, you were signing fatigue. 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.679 A lot of a lot of signatures you have to write down. 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.519 Well, also it was uh it was feeling great that day. 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:08.399 Yeah, man. 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.639 I mean uh a homeowner, dude. 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.799 I did everyone look at you kind of like wait, this is the uh this is the homeowner? 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.639 One person that or two
