I suspected that people would be expecting me to know who they were, when they called but what everyone here is telling me is it is ok to ask them who they are, what their situation is etc...I guess my hang up was that I was trying to put myself in the person's shoes.

I few things I do:-as a girl, I wear a nice-fitting golf shirt, pants, and running shoes (in case I need to run...seriously)-I go Saturday or Sundays during the day-stand at a 45 degree angle from the door, so if they see you through the window, you don't look intimidating. 

We are also currently negotiating 3 more properties that we came into contact through our DM campaign.I look forward to being in your shoes!
