How To Door Knock For Deals As A 20-something Investor

[Jerel Davis]

I've been door-knocking for deals in rural areas and the feeling I get when speaking to owners is that I appear mischievous, suspicious, or young and adorable. I bought my first house (mls) a few months ago and I'm looking for the next one possibly off-market as a owner-occupied rehab with conventional financing (preferred) or Hard Money.  How can I convey to potential sellers that I'm serious and capable of closing a deal?

With cash. Emphasize that as soon as they are willing to sign a contract you will submit $X (a large amount) in earnest money to the title company.
