joe, you need to get less specific in your letters. making offers and setting rehab costs usually result in giving people low ball offers and declines. tell people who you are, and what similar houses in their area are going for, in a large price spread. if they are thinking $50,000 and you tell them their house could be worth anywhere from $30-$75,000 depending upon inspection, dollar signs start ringing in their ears. you will get more offers that way

I could get it sponsored perhaps with a speaker to get the ball rolling.

I feel a bit like a ping pong ball, bouncing from one referral to the next, but at least I'm hitting the table!

Hi AllI am new to the BP forum as well as flip and was hoping to get some feed back on best practices to get the ball rolling: I have looked at a few properties but realize I might be going about this a little off.

The $1380 is actually cheaper cuz it was from a friend...but they want to play hard ball.

I'm going to load up the calls for the pro ball player deal so you can hear him and his financial advisor. 

Commercial is a completely different ball game.

People tend to have giant brass balls when hiding behind anonymity, but most cave as soon as they have to look someone in the eye.

Then put my son to bed and as I was crunching numbers I was throwing the ball to my dog and I was overwhelmed.
