Need help! First absentee homeowner phone call today-

Hey All,

I just did my first phone call to an absentee owner in Cumming, GA. Nice guy...not sure how motivated he is to sell, but hoping to get your input/advice/guidance on what if anything I might be able to do with this one.

Here are the details:

-home is "valued" at 212K per Zillow

-house right across the street is pending...list price was $209,900- nice house

-he owns it free and clear at 180K...with renters in since 2000 at $1,050

-Zillow rent estimate is closer to $1,500

-he doesn't think it needs much in terms of repairs

Maybe I refer to a realtor and earn a referral fee? Maybe there is something else I can do?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Bill
