If you not near his $185k which he just threw out there be prepared to explain to him why it is only worth $XXX.

Younger guys will get a xxx movie with my information on the jacket.

Respond to Craigslist / Zillow / Facebook inquiries with a general message such as "Thanks for your interest, please call me at XXX for pre-qualification and to schedule a showing."

"Comparable rentals are going for $XXX - $XXX, we're priced at $XXX which is a very competitive rate.

If so, please give me a call at 123-XXX-XXXX.Thanks!

So with that said...1)I run an ad in the small town local paper-5 homes to choose from2,3 and 4 bedroomowner financedno qualifying(xxx) xxx-xxxxI also buy homes cash.simple- to the point.

Abandoned property here goes to storage after XXX days, government auctions off and keep the proceeds.Get a lawyer.

So when they all say they cash flow $XXX+ on a property that's nonsense because they never take adequate reserves/capex into account. 

Best method used in our area is HEAT they basically heat up the whole area with a huge piped in blower and heat the units till temp reaches XXX and kills the tricky little blood suckers.Hard to determine as who brings them in they can lay dormant for long periods.

Can you do all that for $xxx?
