Darryl shares his experience with his first real estate deal, which was a single-family home he wholesaled in North Carolina. He found the deal on Craigslist and locked it up at a price that would have made him $5,000, but ended up renegotiating and making only $500. Despite the small profit, this deal proved to be a proof of concept for Darryl. He quit his job in cable and got into real estate to create a better life for himself. He eventually ventured into seller financing deals and built a portfolio of properties. Darryl emphasizes the importance of nurturing relationships with potential future business and the value of follow-ups in wholesaling. He also discusses the average assignment fees in his market and the marketing strategies he uses to find deals.
