Give me 8.46 on 8

July 12th, 2010

It’s like day 5 into this “get a buyer’ race.? I’ve got the properties advertised in quite a few places now. CraigsList, Facebook, etcetera.? I put out some signs about them also.? I took a different approach to signs this time…more of a “damn I’m broke as hell, how am I gonna buy signs” approach, but I made it happen…I guess that’s all that counts.? I even came up with a way to create a cheap lockbox for about $10.? I’ll create some how-to’s on both of those when I get the time to….like in November 2012 or something…the way things are looking.

I even went with something extra for the yard of each property….check it out:

Man…after putting this big-ass sign in the yard, my phone has been blowing-up!? I even may have a buyer, a young couple said that they want to take it…but the downfall is they want to get financing.? May not be a deal-breaker I’m learning…we shall see.? But anyway…for the next time I’m putting a bigger sign out….and I’ll probably tie balloons to it now that I know how good it works I’ma go all out.

Last time I went to the gas station, I literally emptied out my ash-tray to come up with an extra 2.46 to go with the 6 bucks I had in bills.? I know the gas-station attendant was pissed-off…sucked to be him.? He should just be glad the entire 8.46 wasn’t in coins.? I’ll save that for next time.? I’ll make sure I go back when it’s his shift.? And what the hell does 8.46 in gas get you?? Like 2 squirts…I should sell my car and buy a motorcycle.? 8.46 in gas gets me through like one day in Saint Louis versus like 4 days in Champaign.? I kinda miss that.? Or maybe get a scooter…hmmm.? When’s the last time you saw someone on a scooter and said, “Wow, that’s a cool-ass scooter”?? Yeah…exactly.? You can’t be cool on a scooter.? Scratch the scooter idea.

But no seriously, I think I’ve found a niche.? How to invest in real estate with your broke-ass. LOL…I crack myself up.? I think that’s going to be the title of the book I write (because I am going to write a book you know).

How to Invest in Real Estate with your broke-ass.
By Justin McClelland

I’ll have one of those author photos with me wearing a turtle-neck and sitting on a stool barefoot…and I’ll have a manufactured smile on my face and my arms crossed.? You know…the standard author motif.? I can see it in Borders now.? Seriously, I’m copyrighting that t…don’t steal my shit.

But really.? Seriously.? When you’re as broke as I am, your brain is forced to coming up with ways to get the job done.? Once I get some of these damn deals closed and have time, I’ll detail how I got’er done.

- I’m out
