I can be reached by telephone at XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Please call us at: xxx-xxx-xxxxThanks,Mary"I get a response rate of about 5%, mostly tire kickers.

You'll often get someone that says, "oh, Bob Smith just sold his house for $XXX,XXX three doors down" The there are ways to explain that friends and neighbors lie, exaggerate and some like to brag as much as some real estate investors (LOL).

Even though you're paying XXX net cash, you still need a credit for the full amount of the security deposit and prorated rent as they are not relevant to the sales price.Here's a little hint to make yourself a few extra thousand every year; Security deposit, prepaid rents and unpaid property taxes to be prorated in escrow.That means, all prepaid property taxes will be credited to you.

Some random person off the street claiming they can rehab a house for XXX profit is risky.

Ian, I suggest you use the base contract and simply sayThis purchase is subject to that existing mortgage in the original amount of $xx,xxx, made on xx date of month, 2xxx, filed in book xx at page xxx in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of anywhere, county, your state, the balance of same being credited at closing.Or similar, written on an addendum or if there is space or an appropriate line in the financing section, you can write it there.Trying to copy contracts and rewrite them is a pain with the chance of errors, just fill it in.

Call me at xxx-xxxx.

We pay people up to $xxx if they find a house that we end up buying.

Primary home buyers suffer from the same logic- "I want to sell now, because I have $XXX in equity, that's a ton of money!"
