Hello BP,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful evening.

So about an hour ago while sitting at work (which I'm currently still here now) I received my very first response to my mailing campaign to absentee owners with 100% equity.  I don't think he is that motivated though. 

He called and put his son on the phone due to the fact he did not know English.  Unfortunately, I didn't have my sheet of questions so I had to wing it.  i told him that i was an investor in the area and looking to purchase a few homes in the surrounding neighborhoods. 

It's about 980sf 2 bed 1 1/2 bath on a 4,200 sf lot.  It's currently rented with tenants.  The inside of the house was remodeled he said about three years ago.  Per the seller, the roof is 5 years old and only has siding issues on the outside of the house.  I asked him what was going on and he said "Oh, I'm just trying to see what I could get for it".  Doesn't really sound motivated at all. 

So I'm curious what I should do since this is my very first convo with a seller?  I told him that I would do a little research on the house tonight and give him an offer tomorrow.  I do not know why I said that, it kind of just came out. 

Any advice would be great!

Thanks a lot.
