Hit 11 closed cash deals in one month and it scared me more than it excited me
I run a small crew out of Tampa and we closed 11 cash deals in October, which was double our best month ever. Problem is 9 of those came from one wholesaler who went quiet in November, so now I'm sitting here wondering if I built a business or just got lucky with one guy's list. Anybody else had a month like that where the number looked great until you broke down where it came from?
Reminds me of a buddy who runs a lawn crew. He had one property manager feeding him like 15 houses a month, bought a new trailer and hired two guys off that one account. Manager got fired that spring and the whole thing dried up in three weeks. Took him a year to get back to where he was. The deals all felt like his wins at the time but they were really just that one guy's phone call away from gone. Numbers on a spreadsheet don't tell you how many legs the table actually has. Sounds like you already know the answer to your own question.
