Take the Date the deed was recorded, look up the feds prime interest rate for that date... add 1 point,  get the number of months since the deed was recorded, and the sale price of the property, calculate the amortization schedule for a loan equal to the sale price of the property, calculate the remaining principle left on the loan if they paid their mortgage every month since the seed was recorded.     4. automate your follow ups.   

If it was as simple as use the Joe system everyone would be millionaires recycling their seed money like its nobodies business.

I have not bought my first deal yet because my seed money will come from a refi on my current home.

My economics professor planted a seed when he shared his "money making secrete" with me.

Keep in mind that the money that you set aside now will be the seed money to make your first purchase. 

The best approach might be to "plant a seed" with the investor and just see what grows. 

Of course, you can always have people convert on the first mailer, but it's just like all marketing where you trust name brands and have to plant the seed in people's brains for them to think about it.Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

I have also planted the seed for similar deals in the future to allow us to scale faster. 

That way you lower the risk of losing all of it before you know what you are doing, and you can use the 100k as your learning seed money.
