What others are saying:
“Jay’s private lending scripts alone are worth the price of his entire system, and are the best I’ve ever heard … including mine!” – Ron LeGrand, Famous Real Estate Guru, Jacksonville, FL
“You will not believe this, but it is absolutely the truth … 3 days after attending Jay’s seminar Where to get the Money Now, I was doing a call on one of my customers. He was telling me about how he had just sold his home and I ask him if he had ever considered real-estate investing. After hearing the information that I shared out of Jay’s seminar, he is now in contact with my attorney to discuss his investment!“ – Donald A. Hovey, Norfolk, MA
Jay Conner:
Did you start out wholesaling? Is that how you started your real estate investing career?
John Paul Kilduff:
My very first deal was a flip. I got my first flip about two weeks into becoming a real estate investor. I went through training, a real estate education program, and two weeks into that program I got my first deal and it happened to be a rehab. But the rehab quickly went South. And so I picked up my first couple of wholesales thereafter to try to make up for all the losses that I took on my first flip.
Jay Conner:
What are the big lessons learned on your first flip that you would recommend to folks not to make the same mistakes?
John Paul Kilduff:
It would be not to give up your power to the contractor, getting into the business and starting out. I think, the contracting part of things a lot of it is confusing and daunting and overwhelming. Whether it’s private money or contracting or marketing, but with the contracting side of it, for me personally I didn’t know a lot about swinging hammers and everything that went into construction. And so I quickly gave my contractor the benefit of the doubt and gave them the power to do what they want. And they blew smoke as much as anybody’s ever blown smoke. And they ran off, I gave him a $5,000 deposit for a roof and he ran with that. And then, one of the estimates that he gave me, he said that the septic system was good to go when it had failed. So that was $20,000 that I didn’t anticipate. So, the lesson that I learned was the system that we have in place now to vet and hire contractors, have a five step system that all contractors have to go through, no matter what, there’s no compromise in order for them to do work with us.
