In a snotty voice, she tells me that Paulette has no right to sell that home because it’s not hers to sell and she’s 2 months behind on payments and it’s in foreclosure right now.In a calm professional tone, I tell her that Paulette is on Title as owner and has every right to sell her home, the lender only has a lien on the property for what’s owed, and that’s how that works.In her snotty voice she tells me, well, I’ll have my dad give you a call.A short time later my favorite Title officer calls.

But what I'm finding is that other close family members have heavy influence at times.While the PR might want to sell it as-is for cash, other family members can sway the PR one way or the other.And the best way I can think of to become a friendly face with some of these other people-of-influence is to reach out to them as well.Of course I'm "assuming" that most of the other influential voices are in-the-mix are Interested Parties.While it's certainly more expensive to contact both the PR and the Interested Parties, it's an investment that's worth it, if it increases the "per subject property response rate" even a percentage point, with real estate being such a high-ticket item.Not saying you're wrong, I'm just stating my current mindset towards this.

But here I am, desperate to get into Real Estate investing, however without the credit or the funds, I really needed a cash investor/investing partner.I received an email from a Bianca, who says she is Venezuelan and while she is fortunate to come from family money, she has a voice box in her throat and truly can only communicate via email and text. 

Some things I have done to prepare:- Set up google voice number- Start building a webpage- Contact Jerry and read through the supporting documents he provided (call scripts, lead trackers etc..)- Listened to 102 total BP podcasts (slowly working my way through them all)- Read UBG to wholesaling and several other forum threads / blog posts (Jerry / Michael Quarles are favorite two resources so far)Things I still need to do:- Send out first batch of letters- Finish website- As deals come in, find ways to automate / streamline lead sourcing and tracking- Improve ability to estimate rehab costs (my two rental properties were bought out of REO and cash flow nicely but needed <$5k of rehab each, so have not experience a  major reno yet)- Practice call script, objection handling etc.. to be better prepared for speaking with potential sellersI would greatly appreciate any insights from the seasoned vets out there.

While a street MBA is incredibly valuable, I think the ability to experiment within the confines of an academic institution as well as the ideas that you are exposed to really shifts your perspective.
