The key to selling it is this: out of every 100 people you talk to, 50 of them will eventually go on to list. 40 of them will be tire kickers. 10 will really need to sell, and of those, 1 or 2 will be standard wholesale deal worthy, while the other 8 will need a more complicated strategy, such as sub 2.You need to find a way to monetize those 58 motivated people that you wont be doing a deal with.

We know we have what it takes and are tired of renting when we could own.

I guess the only thing I was worried about was coming across as a tire kicker or somebody who was just going to waste their time.

Motivated sellers that aren't in foreclosure or haven't been contacted yet through direct marketing, maybe tired landlord that have evicted recently, or properties with code violations they can't fix or pay for.

He said he was tired of crappy tenants not paying and wrecking the place on the way out.

And that they're just tired of dealing with the relative and don't want to be the bad guy and kick them out.

Using Baltimore City as an example one tired row house may rent for $900/mo.

I like the idea of the tires/snow thing.

Business names need to be remembered, easily associated with the service/product line.Easy to say as well, if you're answering the phone, by the end of the day you'll get tired of saying Merrimack Valley Residential I'm sure.

I was thinking the same thing Bill Gulley said as far as pitching to "tired" landlords, or people that became "inadvertent" landlords
