You can send them to tote and fetch, look at properties for you, run figures, do the mail, manage appointments, etc.

Call a lender and ask to speak to their foreclosure technician=mediator between lender and appointed attorney/trustee.

It's tough, because it seems like more work to input the information than it is to just leave it it my google docs or my google calendar or what-have-you.I'm looking for a simplified answer set up specifically for real estate investors.Just to keep up with contacts, appointments, property information, follow-up, etc. --- simple.Anyone got something?

Well, I went to my hair appointment yesterday and my usual gal wasn't there and got another stylist/hair chopper.

Hello everyone,Just want to get feedback on my mailing and some advice on my next step.I purchased a list towards the tail end of November of absentee owners as well as got another from an agent I recently started working with as of last month.On my first mailing I sent 1200 postcards, received 3 calls, 1 appointment, no deals.On this 2nd go around, I have sent 500 "handwritten" standard yellow letters, 3 calls, 1 appointment, no deals.My market in Orange County, CA as many of you know is a tough market.

I literally do no work in closing these deals, my assistant takes the call, offers a soft pass and then schedules the appointment with my guy on the ground who then takes over from there.

One of the investors I approached gave me the name of a former global bank CFO to contact.The former CFO was contacted and an appointment set.

So it is a busy season... contractors often don't return calls. you book appointments with them  and they never show up , or show up gives a bid and then say they actually  booked...I have two properties in Kansas City right now that needs exterior and interior paint job.its about 4000-4500 budget for eachI purchase all paintfinally two  contractors bid and ready to do it but  insist on getting 1000 to 2000 upfront  for each property before they start .I am not too excited paying someone I dont know those amounts.can any of you who are experience in rehabs have a creative solution not to losethose contractors but reduce the risk?

I don't mean to pick on you - it's just that semantics are important when you make a pitch.You could get a free advisory appointment with Score to help you refine your pitch and business plan.  

You're essentially creating your own appointments instead of waiting for them to call.
