And, while it didn't go as planned (plan being that i make another sweet 5 figure paycheck,) we were able to secure a buyer for the property and I eventually got some $$ (4 figure paycheck) for my efforts.
Still a big fan of the open bid sale concept.
Another year gone and as it turns out, exactly 1 year to the weekend from my last open bid sale...

It's a nice little condo/townhome in Grover Beach with views of the Pismo Beach hills and some nice amenities.
As another little reminder of how much things can change in a year, I'm licensed and running this open bid sale as an agent! No chance of 5 fig paycheck this time, however... I am hoping to make up in volume for what each potential sale lacks in potential profit compared to an investor deal.
Lots and lots and lots going on in my little real estate world right now.
- I've started a consulting project for a company that works with real estate investors as a success advisor, which allows me to spend more time at home and less weekend nights working at the restaurant (which is nice.)
- Plus, I have two buyers in escrow and the condo listing. Not bad.
- I just finished a submission for a free quarterly newspaper that will be mailed out to every household in town in about 3 weeks. Should be a nice little promo piece.
- I partnered with one of my investment property buyers in Virginia Beach (she bought Jeanne St in VB. Remember that one from May 08?), and we are going to update and re-vamp 11daysale.com and 11daysale.net. She'll help build the site and we'll both submit 'free special reports' and videos. And, if leads come in from different areas in the country, I'll be able to use my connections from my RE consulting gig to get them taken care of and hopefully make a little referral $$.
California fall weather is just spectacular and we are LOVING it here. Thanks to my wife's family for support on that one. I will say that it is truly refreshing to have your in-laws be your biggest fan/support. Not everybody can say that.
I hope to post more often, but as you can imagine, my days are full and I love being busy.
Pray for a quick sale and 2 quick escrows!
More next week.
All the best,
Taylor

Good work Taylor! I will admit I miss your posts, but you usually come through with one just about the time when I start worrying there won't be anymore.
How do you find the condo market where you are? Those are usually the last to pickup when the economy turns. Which I guess means you can get some great prices when you buy, but selling is a little tougher

HERE, HERE! I happen to be one of the few in the same shoes...and man it's nice. If only my wife could say the same (about her in-laws ;-) )
