Is it for seller lead capture?

As Denver has just been rated the hardest place for a first time home buyer, I've started a list of things that I think help our clients, but am interested in what other BP agents and people have to add to help make it easier for first time home buyers.Write a strong offer letter that's personalized to the place and makes you seem like someone the seller wants to help outIf you know the owner still lives in the place, consider mailing your letter so that it stands out from emailMake your offer as close to cash as possible - this is possible if you go further into the lending process than just getting pre-qualifiedConsider a market that's still appealing, but less expensive and up and coming (aka, talking to you Colorado Springs)Go with a local lender- local lenders return phone calls, work off hours and know contacts in the area- they can make the seller's life (and their agent's life) much easierBe as flexible as possible with your time.

I had a bunch of higher rate and higher risk commercial and seller-financed loans, so I paid them off last year and am about 50% leveraged across the portfolio I'd guess.I like the peace, honestly.

He suggested that we do seller finance with 100k down.

The seller's agent accepted a 2nd offer after the seller signed my LOI.This is what happened.1- I submitted a first LOI, the purchase price was low and it was rejected.

It's still their property until it's sold at auction.Sometimes they are motivated, sometimes they aren't.

The property the seller has is a farm with lots of acreage.

My motivation to learn and be more than who I am today has led me in this direction.

The seller is a friend of mine who is also an investor and realtor. 

Sometimes sellers come back around highly motivated and then I will re-look at a deal.
