When I first started talking to sellers I was terrified. I was scared they were going to think I was some salesman or something. But practice truly is the only way, get a good lead sheet with the important questions you need to know in order to evaluate the house and ask the most important question, "why are you thinking about selling?" That will determine how much effort you put into that lead. A truck I think I learned on here is to call a friend and have a few laughs and then once you hang up immediately dial the lead and then you will be in a better mood to talk and hopefully help the conversation flow better. But like others have suggested, once you get a motivated lead and a good price negotiated, it's a good idea to work with an experienced investor to guide you through the first few deals.

Thank you I will be sure to set up those alerts! Been loving the podcast too by the way! Great stuff!

My name is Mark Blevins,

Im a fairly new investor, have a couple buy and holds, but really motivated to do flips. Have been educating myself every chance i get, attending a mastermind group (not a guru), and looking to meet people with the same goals as myself and gaining contacts, knowledge, and friends along the way. So if anyone is close to me shoot me a email, and even if your not, really wanting to meet people who want to fund my dream, whether it be with money, time, or experiences!
