Good luck on the first one! But, "luck's got nothing to do with it!" Reality is, the seller likely doesn't know what to expect either so don't worry about what's "proper" just make it "your" meeting. Treat them respectfully and be pleasant.

Keep it simple, bring the contract with you. I would fill out the contract for time sake but I don't think it really matters. You can build rapport by filling it out with the seller so they feel engaged in the process.
Generally upon signing a PA, a licensed agent is required to also give a set of disclosure statements; sellers disclosure, lead-based paint, and a licensing disclosure. If you aren't an agent though, don't worry about it. Two "Principals" in a deal can make any deal they want. For a valid contract you just need an offer (signed by buyer) , acceptance (signed by seller) & consideration (earnest money...whatever amount you agree on).
If you have any additional information about the home, yourself or company, it is always good to have.

Is this a first meeting? Have you already negotiated a deal? If you are there to get a PA then just get the contract signed. Anything else you need you can get at a later time (in case you forget something)

Things the seller will need from you:
They may ask for an earnest money deposit - certified funds or cash commonly $1,000
Perhaps they will ask for a proof of funds letter verifying you actually have the money to buy their property; bank statement, 401k statement etc. wherever the money is coming from to fund the deal.
Anything else they would want or will need to produce you wont need on your first meeting and likely you wont need any of these things right off the bat. Each deal is different and will require different things to be verified so once you see what the deal is tell them you will get back to them in a day or two with the information you need from them.

The most important thing is for you to be confident with yourself. The other guy doesn't know your experience level so have a game plan of how you want the meeting to go and stick to it. If something comes up that you don't know how to handle, tell them you will get back to them on it. Don't give answers for the sake of giving answers. No shame in not knowing everything.

Welcome to the business!! I wish you success!!

I am confused, are you selling the home for them as a RE agent or are you trying to assign the home to another buyer?

If you aren't an agent then legally you wont have to worry about the other disclosures. Yes you can cross that section off and mark as-is sale.

I would ask the seller if they have a sellers disclosure alerting you to any problems with the house that they are aware of. You are the buyer so you are the one that needs to know about the house. If you ask, they must provide it, if you don't you are assuming the risk.

I think honesty is the best policy. Being new to the game is NOTHING to be ashamed of plus it will lower the expectation of the seller. Remember this is a buyers market. You might be the sellers last chance to make something happen. They need you more than you need them so they shouldn't be quick to toss you aside just because you aren't a millionaire real estate mogul. I really believe if you are confident with yourself and respectful of the buyer, you will be able to win them to your side and then whatever you do will be fine because then you are directing the action.

The other thing you may consider if you really think experience is key is bring someone who is experienced with you. You may have to give up some of the deal but you will have your experience. How valuable is experience to you?

Thanks for that post Bill. You bring up some great points. I do agree with you and I think that how you are perceived by the sellers is probably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Act confident, and they will think you know what you're doing, and will accept what you say. Act like a newbie, and they will feel like they're the ones teaching you, and definitely not trust you to buy or wholesale their house.

I actually have been using "we" on my website and marketing materials, for the exact reasons you say. This will definitely make other people think that we are a legitimate business, we have combined experience, and that if other people have agreed to work along with me, then the plan must work. This is also an important way to describe my buyers, because what a wholesaler does can be described in two opposite ways. You can describe it like you're an agent and say you will try to sell their property by finding a cash buyer who's interested. Or, you can describe it like a professional investor and say your partners will be providing the funds to close on the deal, which is why they will be at the closing. Which way sounds more promising? Also, if the seller tries to offer any terms you don't like, you can say "it's against OUR policy to do that", like you wish you could do it, but you just aren't allowed. For example, if they demanded a bigger earnest money deposit (although I've read this is rare), I would say I can't do that it's against our company policy, rather than saying I really don't want to put any more money into this deal.

But as far as the appointment goes, I will just make sure I do my homework on the property before I go, show up with a contract and probably some info on recent comps, then get that contract signed. If anything else needs to be done, it can be done the next day so I can go ask my attorney what else if anything he will need from me and then report back to the sellers which anything I need them to do right now.
