How to Inquire About a Property
Hi BP community,
I'm a REI newbie starting out in the San Diego market (about a month of independent learning) but kind of have an idea what kinds of properties I'd like to invest in and how I'd go about financing the deals thanks to the BP podcasts and "The Book on Investing in RE with No and Low Money Down." I'm now browsing through properties on LoopNet to get a feel for the market and wanted to ask about the do's/dont's when calling the agents/brokers posting the properties on LoopNet.
- If I'm interested in learning more about the property, is the first step calling them?
- What are the typical questions usually asked to learn more about the property being sold?
- How do I bring up different options of financing? Do I hold off on asking? (Lease options, seller financing, etc.)
- Any tips that would help me avoid sounding ignorant speaking to them would be appreciated!
Best,
JR
