Post: Letter of Intent (Off Market Property)

I've recently used a cold calling service to help with my marketing campaign and a potential seller wants to speak with me. Should I have a letter of intent prepared? What are some of the questions I should be ready to ask or information to have for them?

Hey Michael,

How does your cash flow look on your first property after a HELOC? You don't want to get yourself into a situation where you have negative cashflow.

If you have plenty of cashflow on the first property, then use the HELOC to buy the next property. Then refi the new property later and payoff your HELOC.

Thoughts?

That sounds great! Our current property (duplex) cash flows $500 per unit a month, I spoke with the lender who holds my loan and they do not do heloc loans, they do cash out loans.

Should I use a private money lender or pull money out of my current investment property to use as a down payment to purchase my first commercial multi family (5-10) unit property in Sacramento, Ca? I've just spoken with a lender today and he told me to look into a heloc and pull money out of my currenty investment property, I can easily pull $200,000-$300,000 out of the house. Or should I use a private lender?

I'm going to be purchasing larger multifamily properties soon, I currently have over three years of managing a duplex. Will taking property management courses help me? Is it worth the cost? What are some property management courses that are certified in California?

I've met with a commercial lender the other day and he recommended I receive a hard money loan as a down payment for purchasing my first commercial multifamily property in Sacramento, Ca. What are the best terms and rates I should request when I speak to a hard money lender? How can I successfully receive a hard money loan in the next 1-3 months?

I'm looking for a good example letter of intent for commercial (multi family) properties to send potential sellers. Where can I find a good example/ template letter of intent?
