Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
A kid knocked on my door yesterday, a 15-year-old yesterday. I was live on TikTok and I hear my doorbell ring. I go upstairs and it's a kid. He looks like he's anywhere from 14 to 16 years old, super nervous, practically shaking. He tries to pitch me something and I'm like, hey man, I'm in the middle of something right now, I gotta go, I'm sorry. But I go back upstairs and he's left me a note. This is the note and I'll read it aloud. It says, hey there, my name is Nery. This might come off a little strange, but I love your house and I was wondering if in exchange for my free labor, that includes lawn care, washing your cars, roof cleaning and basically any chores you want me to do, then in exchange for that, you could mentor me and teach me what and how you did what you did to get where you are now. Let me know. Now, I am a content creator, specifically a real estate content creator and for context, this is the house that I purchased on my 23rd birthday. I flip houses, I wholesale real estate and I make videos about how you can do the same. And uh, I'm gonna give bro a shot. This message kind of resonated with me. It reminds me of something that I would have done when I was his age. I used to go door-to-door and ask people if I could wash their windows in this very neighborhood. And honestly, in today's economy, knocking on rich people's doors and asking them how they got there, pretty solid idea. Let's give him a call. Hello? Hey man, uh my name is Richard. I got your message. You left me a little note on my doorstep yesterday. I was, I was live on TikTok so unfortunately I couldn't chat then but um. Oh yeah, sorry. I'm sorry for um, the disturbing your meeting. I like, I saw your cameras and I like, I told them to the cameras. I'm sorry for disturbing your meeting. No, no, no, no, no. Totally fine. Um, yeah, I got the message and it kind of reminded me of the stuff that I did when you're, I was your age. So I wanted to give you a call and just kind of see what you had in mind. So, um, well, obviously like, um, like, like, look, like, um, my, my dad has experience in like landscaping and like framing, so I always used to go to work with him to make some extra money. So like, I'm just offering like literally like anything, like whatever you want me to do, like, um, like maybe pressure wash your driveway or like clean your roof, anything in exchange for like, not money but like knowledge, you know, just to, like, I, I guess, free to mentor me and like, your, like what you do, whatever you do, you know? Okay. Yeah. Um, I make content and I flip houses, um, across the country. Like real estate? Yeah, yeah. So I, I, I'm a house flipper. I make content and I started doing that at age 20. Um, but, but yeah, I do think it's feasible to start when you're younger. And yeah, you know, I got a, I got a couple things that I could, could get done around the house. I, I, I'd probably be most interested in, I do have a wall that needs to be pressure washed, but you know, my cars get real dirty this time of year with the pollen on it. So, I, I'll tell you what, man. Um, if you wash my cars once a week, I'll give you an hour of my time once a week where I'll tell you what I do and you can pick my brain and, uh, we can see if we can get you started. Yes, that sounds great. Is this your personal number? This is my personal. Okay. Um, yeah, cause I was about to text you cause, um, I called you and you didn't answer but like the thing is I was, uh, doing some homework because I'm, I'm studying for like, um, well I'm trying to, right now I'm in high school and, um, I turn 18 in August. So I'm trying to like, like, trying ways, you know, to like, further my knowledge cause I, I do, um, I have searched up real estate flipping, especially because my dad, he does framing like I said. So like I have some knowledge in like repairs and stuff like that. So, um, I was studying because I want to be a doctor, so I was like trying to, uh, uh, like study before I go into university. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That sounds, I'm sorry I didn't answer. No, no, no. Totally fine. Um, so, I, I'll tell you what, man. If you meet me at my place, say tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., I'll talk to you for an hour and I'll kind of break down what it is that I do and you can see if that's something you'd want to get into. Give me two cars that you'll wash and, um, yeah, we'll, we'll keep doing it, man. Okay, that sounds perfect to me. Thank you so much. Like I, you don't know how much I appreciate this. And your name, Nery, am I saying that right? Yeah, uh, N E R Y. Nery. Nice to meet you Nery, my name is Richard. It was nice to meet you Richard. Absolutely. We'll talk soon man. I'll shoot you a text. Um, I'm gonna shoot you that address. Be here tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., okay? All right, thank you so much. All right, talk soon man. Bye-bye. That was a lot like the stuff that I did as a kid and, um, you know what? We have had a plethora of 12-year-olds complete deals. Actually, that's not true. We've had one 12-year-old complete a deal and a plethora of people anywhere from 14 to 17 completing wholesale deals. So, it is possible if somebody else signs for you and you just tell them exactly what you're looking for. So, um, yeah, I'll let him into Hold My Hand Wholesale. Um, I'll sit with him for an hour each week and I'll get my cars washed for free, which is something I already do myself. So, this helps me.
