I GOT MY FIRST LEAD!!! This thing actually works!! HELP?
OK I got my first phone call. (Well this is the second) but this one seems really serious.
Would it be ok if I asked a few of you to walk me through my first call experience?
I will tell you exactly what is happening and can you all advice what I should do? I know my education and I think I now what to do, but I would rather not make any mistakes. Also other newbies could really benefit from this if it is layed out as detailed as possible.
So:
I just got a call from a seller.
I was completely unprepared. I just send the mailers out yesterday. So I didn't go over the script.
I am not sure if he is very motivated.
He wants to sell, but he started saying that he wouldn't go below 500K and if you put 100K into it you could easily resell it for about 1.2M
Those are really scary numbers.
So what I am going to do now is do my due diligence, do a driveby, and calculate the numbers.
He said he will be on a business trip and he can not deal with this too much till in March. (not sure if it is a motivated seller).
He did mention the house is not as updated as the others in the neighbourhood.
Other than my research now.
WHat do you all advise I do?
I told him I will prepare an offer within a few days and I will email him the offer.
PLEASE can ANYONE recommend an attorney? I don't care where in CT, I just really need an investor friendly one.
