Welcome to the site @Rob Fill. What type of investing are you currently focused on?

Hey @Pete Slaga thanks for the link. I wasn't able to get the posters contact information, but maybe I am missing something. I'll have to checkout one of the webinars to learn how to use it.

Thanks,
David

Does anyone have a good scraper they use for zillow? I am not really finding anything out there that seems worth the money.

@Brian Hayes looks like I wont be able to make it today, I'll look forward to the next one. 

@Emmanuel Jr welcome to the site. I'm also in the Columbus area. Let me know if I can ever be of help. 

I use county records mostly to find my comps. You can also use services like zillow  to find sold comps, but you should always confirme with county records. 

Hope this helps. 

 @Kurt Winsley Welcome to the site. Sounds like you are starting with a good foundation of knowledge. Let me know if I can ever be of service.

If you are wanting to do your own mailing, I have used some of the coordinated letters and envelopes in microsoft word, and they seemed to do well. It was just a typed business letter, but I think it stuck out from the rest of the mailings. It was pretty easy.

I would send the contract after we had conversed on the phone, but we just weren't even in the same ball park. I would fill it out with a very conservative offer and send it to them. They guys I know who do this say that every once in a while they get people who sign and send it back right away, but most people will file it, and then pull it out again in six months or a year and call back to see if the offer is still good. 

Hey Everyone,

A little background for this question. I am wanting to send every seller that responds to my marketing a written offer. I want to send them a simple form letter thanking them for their time, and attach a 4 page contract that is filled out with their details. I have heard other investors say this works very well for them.

My concern is with properties that I haven't seen. Should I not be concerned about it, and if they sign it, and I realize the house needs a lot more work then expected, just renegotiate? Or would it be better to use something like a LOI. Does anyone have any ideas
