Hey Mike! Awesome that you took action. Remember, you are the expert. Even if you don't feel like you are, you still probably know more about the process than the owners you are sending to. You will want to cover the basics when you speak with a home owner and get the specs of the home and then schedule a meeting to come by. I haven't made offers over the phone, it is usually in person. So the phone call is really to get the appointment. Once you have that set hang up...BREATHE and then prepare.
Sales Contract- Have one just incase the seller is ready to sign when you see them and know the terms you are offering.
Are you going to be buying these deals on your own or wholesaling? That might change somethings in your meeting but not by much at all. The first time I met with a motivated seller I totally forgot to have him sign the last page of the contract and he was already on the fence, I ended up getting the signature the next day but things like that happen when you are nervous.
Hope this helps!
