Nathan Payne and his partner Corey hired two college friends to help move a hoarder's belongings for a wholesale deal, but the friends refused to pack. Nathan ended up doing the work himself, loading a 26-foot truck. He estimates clearing the house will take two to three weeks, but the buyer wants immediate vacancy.
We have a cold calling team at this time and we hired two of our friends from college. We said, guys, you got to get over here. Forget cold calling today. We're moving the seller. And they're like, all right, as long as you pay us. And we were paying them. So they get over and we have to pack their stuff. We got to put it all in boxes. And let me tell you something right now. None of my cold callers really wanted to pick up anything. They didn't want to pack their stuff. They want to take their clothes. And me, I'm ready to get down and dirty. I'm putting her stuff, her clothes in boxes. I'm moving stuff. After the whole day in this 26-foot truck, we didn't put a dent, not even a dent in the house. Not even close. Me and Corey were like, bro, this is going to take 2, 3 weeks to move her with the cold calling squad and me and you, like, this is not going to happen. I'm just feeling down because the buyer's like, you got to get her out of there, man. I'm ready to flip this house. And this is the first time where we've needed to move someone. Most of the houses we did, we didn't have to worry about that to that point that we wholesaled. So I'm not feeling good about what's going on. I feel pretty bad. I'm like, I don't know what to do.
