Wholesale lead wants offer mailed to him.
I talked to a guy this morning that got one of our postcards, but wanted me to go look at the property and mail him an offer amount, not a call back or meetup. The way the request was framed seems strange. What's the motive for having an offer mailed? Privacy?

Randall,
He could be using this tactic to "shop around". He is likely doing this with other investors, and using these offers to raise the price. I would explain to him that it would be better to meet over coffee to discuss the offer so that both parties are on the same page.
