I didn't listen to Brian's video (I still say he needs to dress better and get a shave (lol)).A letter of intent is used in larger commercial deals, it's been adopted by gurus or others as a step adding to the unique approach as a ploy on a few fronts, but seller's really don't need to look at letters of your intentions to do something, they want to see you belly up with a real offer.

I'll bet the store to the left is for bridal gowns!

It helped that I was dressed in a suit and professional about the whole thing.

Are my dress choices sound or will they repel potential leads?

Yes dear, that dress makes you look very nice, you don't look fat in it.

I prefer just to make the kill and leave the hauling, skinning, and dressing to the butchers.

Had to laugh at the sharp dressed schils at the back of the room, ma'aming and sir-ing everyone, hoping to squeeze them for 35k a pop.No thanks.

Haha Indeed it will @Shawn HolsappleBTW Shawn has a wealth of real estate experience and has been a huge help in answering questions at the past events.There will be both new and experienced investors attending.Don't worry about dressing up!

We still dress up and watch the races, but  just do it from the comfort of someone's house party.

Once you find the right fit you explain to the highest person in charge (and I would suggest dressing in your best professional outfit and setting a meeting with the highest person at the bank) and explain that you are a real estate investor, currently working with other investors, but looking to group your business.Next, you explain you have $2, or $3, or $5k, (this is important) to put into the bank, and its part of your current money.
