Keep the seller on their toes and have them itch to hear from you. 

My name is Ed, I'm a chef looking to transition out of the industry and I've been following BP for about a year now and itching to jump into real estate.

Maybe it would make sense to set aside a certain (relatively small) sum each month for “reward purchases” to scratch that itch somewhat, and when that pool is gone, it’s gone until the next month.

If this is off-market with no agents to pay, submit an offer with 10% down and provide referrals and possibly your credit report/score.A tired landlord asking for 20% down scratches a security itch. 

You got the itch and now you need to scratch it harder. 

I’m already itching to buy another, but the wife is telling me to pump the brakes!

I am still itching for a nightly rental in our area but considering where we are, there are a lot of properties not able to be nightly rentals because the township is trying to keep them out.  

I’m a newbie itching to learn as much as possible.

Sounds like a good time for you to itch your curiosity so you can know if it works for you moving forward.

I am constantly looking to scratch my itch of talking real estate with people.
