Wish Me Luck on a Potential Deal
Hello All;
Two months in and we may have something to put under contract. By way of word of mouth.
So far things are sounding good.
I thought I tanked when initially being introduced to the seller. I felt like I had what I'll call Newbie's tongue.
But, we just got word today that the seller was impressed, that it helped that I spoke slowly. Since he is in his 80's and his hearing is not so good.
I also followed up the introduction with a Thank you letter (like what job hunters should do after being interviewed). I asked for advise from other investors on the letter and received advise on adding a line that mentioned giving me a 20 day assignment of contract, in order to involve my associate cash buyers in the area. Which I do already have.
He was also very impressed with the letter I sent.
Now, to get through the nerves of anticipating the phone call and negotiating the purchase price.

Good luck on your deal. Just be sure you don't take advantage of a senior for 5k. Your sleep will thank you.
