Ok Didn't see this and a couple of the other requests for an update.
Guess it's been like over 3 years wow since I updated.
Where to start.
I ended up getting engaged to the last girl I was dating in the thread. We had a big engagement party in VN. My father and sister came out. It was cool. An engagement party in VN is celebrated kind of like a wedding.
Anyways I ended up moving back to Boston for good in March of 2013, shortly after my now wife got approved for her visa.
With online poker being all but dead in USA and really not knowing what exactly to do I had to figure something out. I was home safe back in USA with my girl and my family. But I was nervous about the near future with all of my money almost gone and no income.
I started looking to get back potentially into the car business. At a young age I learned how to buy and sell mostly toyotas and hondas. I learned the numbers and capitalized on people making small and sometimes large mistakes on there selling prices.I used to do this buying out of the local newpapers, want advertisers etc.
So now this time around I discovered craigslist. It was like what I did before buy x10,000. The amount of cars for sale was astounding to me. The first car we flipped I found a toyota corolla for $3900 went up and bought it. Took it home cleaned it up , took some better pics and posted it back up the same place I had just bought it (CL) and sold it for $5600 48 hours later. I knew we had something.
So me and my now business partner continued to buy, sell, flip. We were doing it out of our driveways, open titles etc, pretending we we were not dealers, selling them for our sick relatives etc lol. But we were selling good cars, clean stuff, safe stuff. People were happy.
By this time we had about 8 or 9 cars and it was time for us to get a dealers licence and a car lot. We found one in July of 2015 and opened. I was thinking maybe it would be great if we could sell 12-15 a month. We sold 22 our first month and I was thinking how can we duplicate this. We broke 30 the 2nd month and never sold less than that in that location eventually hitting 40 month.
Our inventory was now over 50 cars between cars we owned outright and cars we used the banks money to flip. We were hitting close to 40 a month consistently and completely outgrew the location. We had so much action and cars everywhere.
Long story short we now moved to our location we are at now and are selling 50 a month consistently with an inventory of about 70. In April we sold 67 which is by far the most we have ever sold in a month. It's called Mass Auto World in Abington mass. You can look us up on our FB page and see more about what we do. It even has some videos from me.

So that's what Im up to 7 days a week. Once a week or so I sit back and have a a few too many whiskeys and and reminisce about my time in asia. I can still smell the hot air of saigon and hear the motobikes passing by. What a time it was.
On a more personal note we are having a baby. She is 19 weeks pregnant with both of ours first child.
Here are a couple pics. Ill try to share some more pics and random stories when I can. Ask me anything as well!
