Handling Phone Calls

[Derik S.]

Today, I received a call from an agent down in Denver, actually who has been calling me a couple times (just because I haven't had my cell on me), who asked me about where I was in my RE-investing journey. While I told him I had no concrete plans at the moment, I did say I was looking to invest  in multi-family homes. What I did learn from the phone call though was rents have been going up in Denver (for better or for worse, not quite sure), and I cannot realistically look at a property for less than $300k. The details of the phone call are not as important as dealing with the phone call itself. 

Coming from a background where I am relatively nervous answering phones, my brain drew multiple blanks in the short time I was talking with the guy. I was put on the spot. How do I better deal with this phone calls?

@Derik S. Wheat Ridge is on the west side of the metro area.

Whatever it takes to prepare yourself, but you need to be able to act fast in this market. A property listed today at noon, I had an offer in by 3 pm, to close in a week. Not bragging, just giving you an idea of what you are competing with. Sometimes when the phone rings it is your mom and sometimes there is profit on the other end.
