Last week he drove several subdivisions, found 60 possibly vacant homes. Did his research, mailed letters, and over the weekend made 27 offers. Today he reports that two of his offers have been accepted! Remember, he\\u2019s 20 years old. Does he know what to do next? Nope. But that\\u2019s the beauty of our training. I\\u2019m working with him on the next steps and the ones after that until we have fixed the properties and sold them to new homeowners.
