love it. but if i had to fix something.. i would find ways to emphasize what the seller wants to here. put the words like "Cash" " as-is" in caps or bold. put a red circle around your number. 

create a scene of urgency like "my buyer is looking into buying a property in you neighborhood This month. or This week." 

and lastly.. have them come back to you if they are not selling like "if you're thinking about selling quickly ,.. or know someone who is.., give me a call" "call me to find out today why now is the best time to sell"

i believe that the goal is to get them to call you "TODAY" then you can explain yourself, your business and close them when you give them good phone. but at-least they called you. so have their number.. you can follow up.

oh and btw.. the spacing is perfect in the beginning of the letter yet the last few paragraphs are not on the line... its not hand written. if that's the look you are going for.

These are just small stuff... like i said before, you're letter is looking great.

As always, this is my opinion and i hope it helps. we are not in competition with each other but in collaboration with one another.

find your niche. mean what kind of people are you going to market to.

know your area. find out what area within your town and is popular, doing the most sales and get to know those areas. these are the areas cash buyers are investing in

find your team members. realtors, attorneys, title company and the like. networking is key. you don't want to be scrambling for these people when its show time. its possible with one yet we accomplish so much more as a team

Know your why. there is a ton of rejection in the beginning of this process. We as a community welcome you brave soul. when you find your why, right it out and post it everywhere. in your work space, in your car, even in your wallet. its a small action to take but writing out just gives it so much more power.

last but not least, know your brand, what do you stand for? 

there are going to be times when a deal is so tempting yet you know that its a bad idea. just because u can negotiate someone to accept a crazy low and unfeasible offer... should u take it. should you wholesale property in bad areas? is that the type of business you want to run? look out for how u talk to people and how people talk to you. this is your business. your business represent you and when people think about your business, they will know the type of person you are they say that your reputation supersedes you. know who you are, what you stand for and take it seriously and others will too

AS always this is my opinion and i hope it helps

Hello everyone

I was wondering if what title company in the Charleston, and mount pleasant area you recommend who are familiar with doing wholesale type deals. I've called a few places and some people at the offices look at me like i'm speaking another language.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

ok so if i want to continue.. i just call the bank that was against the seller or is there any other means of finding more information?

Hey all;

I was driving for dollars today and i noticed what seem to be a distressed property. i took down the address and went to my county's tax assessor's office website to see if its an absentee owner. it turns out that the owner had the same address. i thought it was a bit odd so i took the owner's name and did a public index search.

I found the owner's name, the address and a master in equity judge.

it was titled Bank of so and so as Trustee VS home owner.

There is a lot of information on here that i do not but wish i understood.

i have so many questions.

What does it mean? 

what happens to the house? 

is it foreclosed? 

do i contact so and so bank about it?

hey, I'm in West Ashley, Charleston SC. Congrats on finding a home out here. if its in the MLS then most likely they are with a realtor.. if that's the case then.. have you ever thought about subject to.. rent to own or seller financing.

That way you are getting the home owner to take it off the MLS or you are completing his deal with the realtor with the use of terms.. then turn around a wholesale the terms to another investor who is familiar with and knows how to profit from these types of deals.

But if its a FSBO well.. call them and work your magic.

I hope this helps in some way

either way, please let me know how it goes, what solution you come up with and your progress.

Again congrats on your potential home run and, as always, we are not in competition with one another but in collaboration with one another. as a team we accomplish more

Cheers

Hey hey @Claude Diamond. I was just mentioning you in this post and here you are. I not know you were here at BP. You do great work sir and i look forward top working with you in the near future. 

check out the marketing forum my friend. there is a fantastic and i do mean fantastic forum tread that is 10 pages worth ab out a guy starting his direct mailing campaign. it is long but it is well worth the lead. so much advice.. i'm gonna be reading it twice

i would also recommend to start working on your sellers script. so many people focus on setting themselves up with paper work and flyers and cards that they fought to practice what they are going to say once the phones ring. when they ring.. and they well.. you have to answer. you will be in shock. ther person is on the other line thinking that you are a professional. thinking that you will solve their problem that take them of of a stressful situation within 30 days. if you start rambleing or sounding uncomfortable or not confident... that person is going to believe you don't know what u are talking about.

then you just wasted all the money on your direct mailing campaign. i suggest podcast number 77 "negotiating your way to 1000 wholesale real estate deals with Michael Quarles"  talks about how to stand and some key words to say to get them to say yes. also, off from bigger pockets, i can suggest Claude diamond. the guts systems in selling. he too give some tips on what to say to convince a seller. 

all in all this is only my opinions and suggestions. i hope they do help 

and cheers in advance for your success
