Cold calling private lenders

[Justin Bird]

So... I've found a few names in public records on deed of trust's that are individuals loaning to individuals and RE investment LLC's.
My questions are...
What is the best way to contact the potential lender?
What are the best ways to ask for the investment?

What do you guys think about this intro...

"Hello, My name is Justin Bird, I am a RE investor and I noticed that you have invested, through private lending, in RE. I was wondering if I could find RE deals that were below ARV of 70% if you would be interested in partnering with me in getting one of these deals done?"

I really am looking for ways to open the door with these private lenders so any tips would be much appreciated.

If you are a private lender please let me know how you would like to be approached when being asked to invest in a property.

I would really like to establish a relationship with the lenders before I need to have money at the table.
