Ryan - not at all. I would mention all the benefits they would receive by working with you. Many people in foreclosure try to act like its not happening until the last second. Good luck!

Does anyone have experience with this company? Is it worth $97 per month? Thanks in advance.

Adam Demchik - when I first started my sister (a stay at home mom) used to hand address envelopes to absentee owners in Charlottesville, VA. I had a lady call me and say verbatim "I wasn't planning on selling my rental but after getting 6 letters from you I guess I will sell." This was 2004 or 2005 when assessed values often were much less than market value. She said she wanted assessed value. I cleaned it out and resold it for a $30k profit. Keep mailing them!

It took me 7 really long months to find my first deal. That was in June 2003. I bought 6 homes in June and July and now I have bought over 1,300. My company bought 176 last year. I started with bandit signs, letters and car magnets. Stay persistent and don't give up!

One word - persistence! It took me 7 hard, long months to find my first deal in July 2003. In July and August I bought 6 total. Since that time I have bought 1,300+ homes. I started with a negative $80,000 net worth...

Can someone tell me the URL for a company that does yellow letters called Go Fast Ink - I have been unable to find them. Sean Terry mentioned them in a podcast.
