Unconventional Real Estate: How Chris Peregoy Made His First Wholesale Deal at Auction

Jeremy & Shelly Beland Episode 81

What if your first real estate deal wasn’t local, wasn’t traditional, and wasn’t even fully funded, yet still profitable?
 That’s exactly what happened to Chris Peregoy, and in this episode of the REI Freedom Podcast, he shares the surprising moves that helped him pull it off.

Host Jeremy Beland welcomes Chris, a first-time real estate investor and lifelong entrepreneur, who made his first wholesale deal through a tax deed auction, and walked away with two properties from across the country. With no prior experience and limited capital, Chris proves that success is possible when you’re willing to bet on yourself and take imperfect action.

You'll hear how he won two properties at his very first tax deed auction in Shelby County. One was wholesaled the day after the redemption period expired; the other has had a rollercoaster ride through escrow, giving listeners a look at both the ups and downs of buying through auction.
