Your next contact, is laying the foundation, often detailing the "problem" and establishing as a problem solution provider. 

I know we want to try to wait to show the property until fixes are done and it looks the best it can, but how much lead time before that? 

Each one tells me that they are looking to tap into equity while values are still high and many of them are sitting on the sidelines with their cash out proceeds waiting for good deals to start popping up.
