1st House I Ever FLIPPED | Making Money with Prestley Snipes [Episode 18]



On Episode 18 of "Making Money with Prestley Snipes", I stop by the first house that I ever flipped. I got this house under contract after finding the seller on the local tax delinquent list. I skip traced the seller's phone number and got in contact with her on the spot. I made the seller an offer of $10,000 and told her I'd pay her back taxes which were a little over $2200 dollars. After a few months, the seller decided to take my offer. I then sold the house a few hours later for $20,000 cash. The buyer invested around $10,000-$15,000 into fixing the house up and sold it for around $70,000 a few months later. This whole transaction started from just a phone call. Had I not contacted the seller, she may have lost the home due to non-payment of delinquent taxes. I was able to put some money in the seller's pocket, put some money in my account, put money in the investors pocket and put a family into a new home. The process has been fulfilling and I'm glad to see that a family lives in this house now, which was vacant when I found it.

How I Wrote a #1 Hit Song with Drake



In this video I tell the story about How I Wrote a #1 Hit Song with Drake. To this day, people still ask me how I got my first platinum record. I was fortunate to go multi-platinum in 2014, with the help of Drake and my first artist iLoveMakonnen, who I signed and managed between 2011-2015. Last year I had a conversation with Ether Da Connect on Skype. Ether is an artist and songwriter from my hometown Brooklyn, NY, who has a song called "WAKA" that's been buzzing for a while. Waka Flocka Flame recently got on the remix of Ether Da Connect's hit song "WAKA", so we share a similar story. I tell Ether the true music industry story about how I managed to co-wrote the number one Billboard hit song "Tuesday" with Grammy Winning artist and songwriter Drake, which later got nominated for a Grammy Award in 2015.

Hard To SELL House | Making Money with Prestley Snipes [Episode 14]



What happens when you're wholesaling real estate, but you haven't found an end buyer in time, to satisfy the seller? In this video, I share a conversation that I had with a particular seller, who has a nice sized house, that I'm looking to flip. The seller's house doesn't need much repairs, so he wants close to retail price for the house. Therefore, it's taking me more time, than I originally anticipated, to find the right person, to buy this house. I'm interested in buying some of the properties that I wholesale, but I need them to be at a certain price. Usually investors look for houses priced way below market value. In order to finish this deal, I have to be completely transparent with the seller. Here’s one of the conversations that we had a couple weeks ago. The seller and I are working together to close this deal, as soon as possible. Stay tuned for Episode 15 of "Making Money with Prestley Snipes" and make sure to Like, Share, and leave a comment and Subscribe.
