For my first deal I would like to know whether it would be better to purchase an investment duplex out of state or wait until I establish employment and purchase a duplex to owner occupy it in my local area.Sincerely,John G.

Sometimes the total savings to you by doing lease to own is over 8%, which on a $200,000 property is $16,000.Enclosed are some articles from the Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, Realtor.com, USA Today and some other public newspapers, about Lease to Own and Seller Financing.Many realtors don’t know a thing about Seller Financing or Lease to Own, and their Brokers do not encourage their Agents to talk to Sellers about it.I currently have at least 2 “Lease to Own Buyers” that are interested looking at your house, that will give you full price for your house, and save you quite a bit of money.In order to properly explain this to you, I need to sit down with you and go through the positives and negatives of this decision, so that you can make a good decision about your home sale.I get paid from the buyer so you don’t have to pay me anything.Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx so we can sit down for 30 minutes and go over the basics of how this works for you and your family.Sincerely,Brian GibbonsInnovative Property LLCAssisting Home Sellers Solve [email protected]_______________________________If you notice the letter stresses saving money and doesn’t tell them how it works, and also educates the seller was some mainstream articles from national newspapers and realtor.com.Print the cover letter to a generic homeowner on good letterhead, and print the articles on good letterhead.You can use a binder clip to get them altogether.If there is no one home when you knock on the door, don’t leave this free report in the mailbox, or or don’t hand it to a child with the parents not home.

W/S/G are probably all your responsibility, and can easily eat up a $100+ a month.
