Website lead- house is on a bad street of board ups- Baltimore

[Angela DeBorja]

Hi all,

I got my first website lead through Craigslist! Unfortunately on Google maps it is on a very distressed street with many boarded up houses. How do you go about saying no to the seller. What kind of wording have you used?what kind of responses have you gotten?

"Thank you for your interest.  Unfortunately, your property didn't meet the criteria of the buyer.  While this property doesn't seem to be a match, we ARE actively looking for properties.  Do you (or anyone you know) have any other properties that need to be sold?"

Alternatively, if you can negotiate the right price, this could be a good wholesale deal that you can sell to a more experienced buyer who works in those areas.
