Kirk R. You have A LOT of questions. Most of those questions can be answered after a little digging through the forum posts here on BP.

But, here's my 2 cents...

I think your letter is good but I wonder

Will your offer be the same for every home?
My understanding of "Driving for $$" is to target homes that are vacant/abandoned or in disrepair to hopefully grab a tired homeowner with a motivation to sell. I don't leave a letter personally, just my "seller" business card affixed to the home.
I do. Other people may use other services but I find Google Voice has and does what I need it to do.
I would recommend comping it out BEFORE you go to the home. That way you are prepared to give educated offers on the home. At this point you definitely don't want to give any "blind offers".
You can find them all over the place, even here on BP in the "Fileplace". An attorney can also whip something up for you which is usually the recommended route because different states have different laws and such. If you do find some you want to use, protect yourself by having an attorney look them over.

6. Check with my local Realtor board about listing in the MLS for a property I am not on the title. List it if I can or Craigslist it otherwise.

????anyone dealt with local Realtor boards have any suggestions?

I am not an expert by any means. But I don't think you can list a property on the MLS for which you are not on title. Your best bet is to list it on Craiglist and other similar classified websites and other means of advertising to your buyers. Keep in mind you will probably have to pay a Realtor commission if you choose to work with one.

????Any suggestions for finding a buyer especially if I can't list it in the MLS?

?????Where would I get an assignment agreement?

REIA meetings, Courthouse steps, BP, public records, etc.
Again, any contractual needs should be fulfilled by an attorney but there are a couple on the BP FilePlace (under resources tab)
Depends on your state.

Hope this helps!

PS. I second what Tim G. posted!

Welcome fellow Michigander! I am more on the metro-Detroit side of SE Michigan :)

Brandon couldn't have put it any better. If you fall off the horse, get back on and keep trying.

If you ever have any questions please reach out :)

Good luck!

Wow! I love this data! Thanks for posting Joe!

Great job, Cam!

Learning to say "no" is a triumph in and of itself. Keep it up! I'm still hustlin fir my first deal but I can feel its just around the corner. :)

No problem Tim! I didnt consider your post discouraging at all. I like that realtor idea.

Yes he wants to sell but on his terms. I'm only asking because if/when I run into this again I can be educated on this type of situation, except with a motivated seller. I more than likely will not pursue this as a potential deal.

Thanks for posting Tim! :)

Thanks for the input Wayne Brooks and Jon W.. I don't think a wholesale deal will come out of this but, my curiosity must be sated! lol

Jon W. Welcome! I am always pumped to see more Michiganders on this site. I am just a hop, skip and a jump from Sterling Heights :). I'm working towards wholesaling in Oakland and Macomb counties. I hope we can help each other out sometime!

Cheers!

Jason Walkowicz,
Welcome fellow Michigander! I'm working on wholesaling over here in Oakland and Macomb counties. I'd like to pick your brain about those "bulk" deals you do, sometime. :)

See you in the field!
