For married couples or multiple adults that will be renting, I get separate e-mail addresses for each adult, then send each of them links for the application.

In my opinion John is a "squared away guy"The real test for me with any coach or coaching program is "accessabilty"Specifically ,does the guy return your inquiring phones or e mail personally or does he have some "boiler room person" paid minimum wages responding to you?

Good Ole Door Knocking and Mailing Campaigns.

I use a Word table with embedded docs for leads, and an Excel spreadsheet with hyperlinks to my mailing lists to track marketing and response rates.I also recently did a 30-day trial of a product called Pipeliner which I liked very much and am interested in buying, but can't justify spending the money if I can still do it in my home-grown system.

I'd recommend making it your mission to find and speak to (not mail to) those 16 folks.

Having done my share of mailings this is not what I want to do...The shortest possible story re motivation is:- you need to find sellers in ALOT of pain, something bad.

My husband called the lawyer at that point (I had him do it because he knows the mortgage industry much better than I do, and it turned out he and the lawyer had some colleagues in common.)Dealing with the lawyer was a little frustrating, because he was obviously pretty unfamiliar with sub2s and kept dramatically warning the seller about the potential pitfalls (the mortgage remains in his name, etc.)Eventually, we worked it out by putting these two clauses in the contract. 1) If we miss one payment, the seller can take the house back. 2) We will refinance into our names within three years.After the paperwork was finished, we mailed a check for $1,200 to the lawyer and he sent us the paperwork.After that, we did more waiting for the seller to be ready.I emailed the seller at the end of April reminding him the paperwork would expire at the end of the month and we'd need to have the docs updated if we didn't sign them before then.He said he needed another few weeks to get ready.

What should be happening: the title company does the title work, guarantees there's a clear line of ownership on the title, title insurance company issues title insurance, closing is scheduled, final walk through, sign papers and transfer funds, get "your copy" in the mail a couple days/weeks later.
