Hey @Antonio Coleman

Thanks a lot for that info.  I need to get my site up to par ASAP.  Still lagging on your Newsletters but I know they will get me right.

Have a great day!

@Justin SilverioGreat point sir.  I will definitely work on separating myself from the competition, it makes so much sense to take the time out and put myself in the prospects shoes.

Thanks

Have a great day!

Hello @John Arendsen

If you could elaborate a little more that would be great. I would love to know if I'm going about something wrong or incorrect. Thank you.

Good Morning @Jay Hinrichs

Thank you very much for your detailed response and insight.  I feel like that is GOLDEN!!!

I'm in Houston, Texas and it seems to be a lot of competition down here.  You really make some good points... especially in regards to going a very professional route, explaining that they're probably getting a lot of these YL's and telling them why I'm different.

For now on when marketing I will make sure I am not just "joining the pack" but separating myself from the pack.  Thanks again! 

p.s. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what would a soft pre qual sound like?

@Steve Vaughan Gotcha! Thanks a lot.  It took about 30 minutes to complete.  Added a few text boxes & drew a few things in "paint" and inserted them. I will definitely keep you all posted.

Good morning everyone,

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on my yellow letter?  I'll be printing them out and everything from home.  If it's horrible please feel free to let me know... I have very think skin and can take constructive criticism.

Thanks a lot!

Have a great Sunday.

Thank you all for that very helpful information.  @Stephen Chittenden I will check those quotes once I get to a computer today.

Hello BP,

I'm wondering if the amount of PMI is decreased the closer you get to a 20% down payment? OR is it pretty black and white... you either put 20% down or not.

Thank you
