OK so i found a distressed property that looks like it could be a great deal. I did the research but I cant find the owners phone number and I am not subscribed to the expensive websites that provide you with numbers. I do have a PO box and was thinking of mailing him a letter but what i need help with is what do i put in the letter? I am very new at this so i apologize in advance I am working on my first deal.

Jaremy,
The bandit sign on the yard is an awsome idea!

I agree adura. I'm not afraid of messing up i am just very young and afraid people wont trust a young guy who just wants to contract them. But i really really like identifying yourself as " Cash buyer with ACCESS to funds allowing me to close in 30 days" and if i don't close ,well at least you get some money from the deposit. I was also looking at the "let me pay you to sell your house fast approach" has anyone had success with that?

yes it was i tried doing a search but no luck. This helps Thank you,

I currently sell cellphones part time for a major company so i don't have a problem talking to strangers because i do it every day. I just don't exactly know how to explain the nature of my business without them thinking I am a scammer.

Thanks Ali, I believe 100 percent in the confidence thing. I actually have changed my wardrobe to look more professional and I am looking to purchase my first suit also. I have also been working on the way I speak and write, trying to take any if all "slang" out of my vocabulary. Even though i don't talk that way.

I found a very distressed property and im doing some research on it. It looks like this guy owns this out right but were do i find his number? is there a program or something. There is no sign on house or anything for me to call. any suggestions?

Thanks guys i guess I will just have to go with the flow and introduce my self as a wholesaler

Ok so I am getting to the point where i have done most research, have my business together,business cards, bandit signs,about 10 cash buyers ect. I think im ready to start my first deal. I can find a great deal and i know my area in and out but Here is the problem. How do i approach the seller/homeowner and what do i say? i guess this is the part that is the hardest to overcome. Some say tell them the process and what i am doing. other say just put in an offer and sign the contract and it dosent matter what you do after. What do you suggest? How do i break the ice? Im a very truthful person and do not intend on being shady. I believe I will go the "tell all" route but how do i start? Sorry for all the questions.

hey thanks guys those are great ideas. I have about ten cash buyers at the moment but i keep hearing that if you have a great deal you will have no trouble finding a buyer so i am going to try to find that deal.Bandit signs should help.
