Started before Business Cards came in and cannot get seller's interest.

[Ronald H.]

Have Business Cards coming in on or about Friday. I probably should print some temporary one on my computer, although I am having issues with the computer.

I am working with a partner who can and does want to buy properties. I am finding properties and approaching the seller's and I have not got anywhere.

One seller is an Investor and he asked me who my funder was. I told him, but he is NOT answering my text messages. I made an offer by text message, which is not valid, but I figured it shows my interest. We also had a conversation about Contractor's and I told him that I was not previously able to verify some Contractor's license status. I already had previously looked others up, but I am thinking that perhaps he thought that I did not know how to do that.

HOW CAN I GET THIS SELLER TO ALLOW ME TO INSPECT THIS PROPERTY?  PLEASE HELP. I already have gotten a funding approval for this property, and now I am sitting here in LIMBO.

Another seller I have contacted owns a house that will probably need to be torn down. He wants $130K for it. I went into the house and took all kinds of pictures and tried to use the Spreadsheet that comes as an extra when you buy Joshua Dorkin's book called Estimating Rehabs. Very difficult to use when you're a newbie. I think the bet way to learn is going to be by watching the Contractor's carefully.

I have made 2 appointments with 3 different Contractor's and I sincerely thought that I would be able to get the right to inspect, but I didn't and I am hoping that I DO NOT lose these Contractor's interest in my proposals to get estimates for Rehabs for me.

My partner said that there is a New Posting on Biggerpockets that talks about "How to get a Yes from Seller's. I cannot find it. Anyone know where it is?

Thanks guys!
