Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

A potential buyer left me a voice mail in response to my CL ad. My CL ad says: "Wholesale Properties -- 60-70% & below FMV -- won't last long! Call Now! and then my ph. number." He wanted to know the cash prices and addresses that I have available? I don't have any properties yet, so how do I respond? Just take down his info.?

I have a seller that wants out of their house by this summer. The catch is that he doesn't want any marketing done (For Sale signs, etc). Doesn't want anybody going through the property other than me. And wants the buyer to pay all closing costs, which will be around $10,500 because of delinquent taxes.

After thinking about this for a while, from a Buyer's perspective, the best I could come up with is to have an appraisal done so I have the report to show to interested buyers. The seller has agreed to allow an appraiser walk-through.

I have already intended to take pictures and videos.

Am I missing any other items of concerns or ideas about this? I feel like there's more options out there for this particular situation but am drawing a blank.

TIA for any help.

Jill & I have just finished another rehab! We will
pay $ 2000 bird-dog fee to anyone that brings a retail
buyer to purchase this property!
It's a 3 bed/2 bath/1 Car 1747 sq. ft. under A/C
located in Beverly Hills, Fl. Offered at $ 79,900.

& info. I can't wait to write a check out to a fellow
DG student.

when they are putting out election signs I figure I can sneak a bandit sign up right by it and if they are not worried about the election sign they won't be as worried about mine. And the sign police don't work at night the night is ours I've had a cop stop me and ask me what I'm doing I told them my job I put signs up for a living and make a buck a sign he said ok cool have a good night.

DG Family I found this web site to find private lenders by looking up mortgages in different counties and states around country. Looking up the docs should give you info on both borrower & Lender of course you will need to find the mortage's were the lender is private get their name & Address in your specific area of course and build a list of private lenders to then market to them by mailings. I tried and I found some still working on building a list so give it a try.

If you have one fellow DGer's, i would like to call and listen to get some ideas other than scripts I've read. Looking to add some extensions focused on buyers, sellers and investors along with avoiding foreclosure info. Please PM me your number so I can call, or feel free to post in the forum, could be a great opportunity for others to hear as well.

make sure you don't send them a Yellow Letter stating that you 'desperately need to sell this property at a discounted price' and the property you're talking about is a condemned property!... Yep, I got one of those from a birddog?

Hello DG family,
I wanted to share this with you because I know how INTIMIDATING it is when first starting out and having to build the dreaded buyer's list. This was something that was completely new to me, and I, like a lot of you are going through right now, was SCARED to build my list! I look back and laugh now, but I 100% remember the feelings I went through and what I had to go through to finally get that first buyer on my list.

So, this post is to encourage and motivate you, and know that WE ALL have all those feelings you're going through, but once you connect with a few buyers, it gets SO much easier!

I have sent out marketing letters to 90 days cash buyers in the area, and got 1 call back.
I am not sure,if I have handled it correctly.
He was giving me hard time, asking so many questions if I am an investor, why would I give away a deal, why don't I have a list of available properties, how many properties do I own.etc
So finally I asked If I give you a good deal, would you take it? I guess, the rest doesn't matter. Right?
Then again
When will you send me the mail, 1 week, 2 weeks?
When I find a good deal, that I can't take, I will send the info for you.
He is flying here tomorrow to find some more houses in the area by himself.He is really serious.
But, I don't know, if he takes me seriously...

I put an ad to craigslist, looking for serious rehab investors.

Hey DG'ers

I have been on this site for some time now and have recently signed up to the success academy. I'm in the process of building up my buyers list and I am having a hard time in doing this. I know that in order to succeed I need a strong list, but for some reason I am a confidence issue in making these calls, this usually not a problem for me. I'm using the script by Matt Larsson from the RBBP.

I have gone through the craigslist and collected all numbers that are houses for rent. The first 2 calls went to answer phone. The next was an out of state owner who wouldn't answer any question's till I have driven by.
