Last Friday, new investor Ron Wong purchased his first investment property at a steep discount (67%) in South Everett. The home was a very well cared for 1955 built rambler on a great street and large lot with a detached garage. Ron met the owner earlier in the week with me (John McCants) and toured the house. The owner had been trying to work with one of the largest banks in America on a modified payment plan for over two years with no success. He was unable to afford the repairs the house and the house ultimately went to trustee sale (auction) and sold to our investor. The property needed a new roof, some landscaping, and touch-up on the inside to hardwood floors and paint. The home has two remodeled bathrooms and a new kitchen. It is very unfortunate for the previous homeowner that he could not keep his home, but to Ron, it was a opportunity to do what he has dreamed about for years: build his wealth by buying real estate at wholesale.
Ron plans to complete the work in the next few weeks as the previous homeowner moves out and re-list the property with the Pickett Street Team making a handsome profit for his efforts.

Congratulations Ron! I’m very happy that you made your first investment property. Being new in the business, I am looking forward to working with John McCants and the rest of the Pickett Street team as well so I can buy my first investment property as well. Can’t wait to hear how everything turns out – from the buying date to the selling date and the nice amount of $$$ you made 🙂
Cheers,
John Trivedi
