The fact that you have no emotional attachment to the property makes it easier for me to get you what you need.

You are talking about their home, not a house.Without going into hours of detailed explanations on the matter, I might just offer you this advice...Approach any homeowner from an emotional standpoint, rather than a business one.Logic is not something high on their priority list right now.

Exactly the conflict that I saw John and after digging a little deeper, it appears that Investor Champ hails from a little different area than I.

From one that speaks to people in foreclosure on regular basis, one repeating emotional trend I see is embarrassment---in general, folks in this position often act too late because they are embarrassed (pride is another good emotional anchor) with admitting failure...Although I don't market to these individuals, I understand the mindset all to well and believe any marketing campaign to these folks should include the following components:- Discretion/Privacy: Give them an opportunity to learn more without revealing themselves initially---offer a white paper or recorded info-message which would allow these distressed homeowners to learn without the need to speak to somebody. - Hope: Too many marketers are appealing to fear---although fear is a compelling emotional trigger, the majority of people don't want to be reminded what they will lose, they want to be reassured that there is a chance for recovery

Boy is it time, energy and emotion consuming!

And most people are “ignorantly” willing to give them their lives.The point I’m going to make finally here is that EMOTION is the #1 driving force of the highs and the lows in this market.

Only one person answered and I got a taste of the emotional part.

Emotions or feelings are guiding you, not $$$.

Not too interested because I'm not up for dealing with distressed, emotional sellers.Some places have an "upset period" where another bidder can come in after the sale and make a new bid.

Would I be looking for houses currenlty for sale or would I need to dig deeper and find foreclosures?
