@Aaron Mazzrillo thanks for the feedback. He fell off anyways... Just didn't sound like a person I would do business with. Anyhow on to the next one.

@George Maka thanks man. I actually heard of it but never considered it because I thought it was just an information capture service like aweber. That's actually what use but I'll look into mail chimp. Thanks again!

What's a good program or service for email blasts that contain property info, pics and contact info?

@Willie Morgan great that you're looking for a partner to co wholesale man and I would love to help and I do reach out to the Raleigh area but I'm primarily in Greenville. My advice since it sounds like you got all the tools... Jump in and get wet. No better learning then your own experience plus until someone comes along, you got the ball rolling already. Good luck!

@George Maka thanks man. That's exactly what I told him and he passed on the deal which is fine because I have other buyers as well. Just wanted some input. Sometimes you second guess your gut instinct. Thanks for the feedback though!

Have a property under contract. It's a great investment property for rental or even flip. Talked the seller into owner financing which would be a phenomenal flip for any buyer. Anyways long story short found a buyer, gave him all the details he needed to know (ARV, comps, repairs, owner financing #s, rental income, flip profit etc) and he came back with the only way he could buy the property is to talk with owner and gauge how he can "help" him. That didn't fly well with me because I felt he was trying to undercut me on the deal. My question is does that sound fishy or am I just being overly protective of the properties I have contracted.

Hey look guys I'm still new to REI but have been in sales for quite a while. I mean really all of us sale something each day. OURSELVES!! The best tool I found for finding if a seller is motivated is rapport. I love getting on the phone or my preference is being in person and finding out about the potential seller. Asking questions like if they have a family, what's their occupation, what do they do for fun...etc. These are all key points that will lead to why they want to sell. If you truly listen and are genuine, most folks will open up like a book. My philosophy is everyone has a story that wants to be heard. P.S. Laughter is key. If you can make a person laugh within 10 minutes of meeting them, usually you create a strong bond.

Kathy C. Welcome Kathy and congratulations on your first rental property! I'm actually right around the corner from you in Greenville. We should definitely connect on BP and sometime down the road we may be able to help each other. Congratulations again!

@Donna Clayton Lloyd Welcome Donna!! You picked a great place to learn. Dont be shy and there's no better time to start them now. Again I say welcome.

@Callie Carter Wanted to reach out and say welcome! Hope all is well. I'm sure you may have gotten plugged in to the NC investment groups already. I personally wanted to introduce my self. I love in the area you want to invest in. We should definitely talk sometime and see if we can find what you and your husband are looking for.
