Shooting for the stars.
So I am about to dive into Real Estate Investing. And when I say dive in...I literally mean no safety net or wings.
I will just shoot for the stars.
That being said. I will doorknock and direct-mail homeowners.
Can somebody please help me as to what it should say in my letters?
What do I say when someone answers the door?
"Hello My name is grant and I am a beginner real estate investor, do you need help getting out of this house?"
What do I say?

Hello, Grant
I would suggest going to a local Real Estate Investors meeting in your area and talk with investors in your local network and they will have great information on helping you get started in Real Estate you may even find a mentor to help. Also by reading the blogs here on bigger pockets will help tremendously, you never want to jump into something without knowing a little about it first. Just by reading on here will help you gain some valuable knowledge. If you are going to start wholesaling it's very important to learn your area and what investors are purchasing and how they buy because those will essentially be your customers, also type in the search engine direct mail letters and a ton of information will pop up as far how to market to motivated sellers. Anything you would like to know about real estate can be found in the blogs as well as the forums just type it in the search engine and learn
