What is your cool interesting story, Elijah. 0:18 So I have this one deal, contacted about a month ago through text messaging. And I don't know the total numbers, per se, but I know this deal was not supposed to close. Well, I didn't close yet. But it's gonna close the seller. He didn't mention to me that yet ex wife that was on the deed she wasn't on like prop stream. Sometimes when you look up these properties on Prop stream, it would just have one sellers name, right. The wife's name wasn't on it. He saw once they did the title. You know, the title company did the title search. They mentioned to me the seller, ex wife is on the deed as well. So, you know, I had to do extra due diligence true people search Google every day at tried literally almost everything me and my team to reach this lady. I sent her a priority mail letter, you know, with a, with a gift card, letting her know that my company we're looking to buy this lot. We're already in greement with her husband or ex husband. And she could potentially make money from this deal as well. But she never responded. So I'm thinking this deal is just gonna go through. So last week, I closed a couple of deals, made some good money, but I also had to cancel a lot of deals last week. So I was kind of discouraged about that. So come in this week today, I actually just got the email that the title company found out found the seller, got them to sign the papers. And I believe we close Friday, and I'm making 7000 just offer the title company doing their job. So what 2:15 yeah, the title company. And he hasn't had to come with ever found somebody for us. Can ever wet. I've never found anybody for us. I don't believe so. Oh, Teresa 2:25 animal? Yeah. Yeah, she's just pretty ferocious man. It's good to have a blessing to have somebody like that on your team. 2:34 Yeah, I don't know how they did it. Because I literally tried everything. But I got an email today. And I think he closed the the Thursday or Friday make a 7000. Like, listen, I thought that that 7000 was going. I was getting ready to send him the cancellation, actually, probably today.
