Approaching Cash Providers

[Zach Wilson]

Fellow investors.  Does anyone have a recipe for starting a dialogue with potential cash providers?  In particular, people with whom you have already developed a solid relationship.  I often find myself typing up an email or text only to delete it, unsure of whether or not I am using the correct approach..  Should I be pitching or is just a simple "hey Huckelberry Fin, do you have any interest in investing in real estate", sufficient?

What's everybody's dialogue look like at the first contact stage?

Cheers and thanks!
