Creative Financing Pamphlet
Hi everyone,
I have a realtor that is willing to knock doors of distressed home-owners (e.g. pre-forclosures) and explain to them creative financing options to help them in their situation such as doing a seller finance, all cash (wholesale deal). Has anyone ever handed these particular homeowners a paper and/or pamphelt explaining the options the home-owner can use that can help them and save their credit? Is it better to knock the door and hand them a pamphlet rather than send direct mail? Just wanted some thoughts and to see if someone had something simple and professional that I could have this realtor hand to these home-owners.

@Jared McNeel
I would tend to stay away from trying to explain it in a pamphlet. You don’t know their level of knowledge or how they like to hear things explained. I think something simple like i buy houses, cash or terms, and then your contact info and if you have it, your website. That way they can call you (and it becomes a better lead) and you can chat them up and then explain it. If they never ask about it, you can save the trouble. But if they never ask but you learn that it’s something that would be a great solution, you can bring it up.
