No, these were wholesales. I locked them up over the phone and then sold them, well one has closed the second is in escrow. Had a little water leak while in escrow! Thank goodness the owner had insurance!

It's all about what you THINK you can do. I locked these up with 30 day inspection periods and $1000 earnest money. Why? Because I just figured I could and did. You can do this my friend! Don't overthink, relax, visualize it and enjoy the adventure!

In their home, at a starbucks, the hood  of your car?

Avoid the phone when you can but some absentees are out of state and its unavoidable.

Choose somewhere quiet and comfortable.  Stay away from dark alleys on the bad side of town, may send the wrong message to your seller.

haha true that sam. dark alleys may be a bad idea

Wherever they feel most comfortable!

How you negotiate, the terms, and the way you speak to them are far more important if you ask me than the actual location.

Everyone is different, read them fast and learn quickly how to adapt to working the way they like to. I got two under contract over the phone this month, never even went to the property or met either seller in person ever. Just varies every time.
