How provocative was your description of the property, does it entice me to call for more information?

Do you know of any RE allies that you could JV with or entice a private lender by doing a participation loan, where they charge you a reduced interest rate, but get a piece of the profit?  

For even more accuracy, we choose to only use comps that are 1/3 mile away or less, with sales dates within the last six months.Sometimes, even the street can make a difference in the value of a property.If the only comps you have are on very nice streets, but the house you’re considering is on a very “distressed” street, then you have to reduce the ARV.How much is an appropriate reduction is a judgment call on your part.You’ll want to base that call on how much of a discount will be necessary to entice the final owner/occupant to buy this property over one they can get on the “better” street.If the comparable sale that you are using is too different from the subject property, then it is of little value.If you use it in your sales marketing, you’ll lose credibility with your Investor Buyers.An example of a poor comparable is when your subject property is an old cottage fixer-upper, and you compare it to the sale of a brand new in-fill (an in-fill is a new house built on a vacant lot in an otherwise established neighborhood).Rehab dollars vary according to level and detail of the job – everyone has a different formula.As a wholesaler, we suggest a middle-of-the-road approach for estimating enough rehab dollars to get the subject property to look like the comps.You’ll need to spend more on rehab as the ARV increases.Logically,buyers like more ‘pretty-ness’, higher-end fixtures, cabinets, etc. when they’re paying $200,000 vs. when they’re only paying $100,000 for a house.Buy/Sell/Hold costs are all of the costs associated with:üThe purchase (loan origination fees, title insurance, attorney fees, survey, appraisals, etc);üThe sale (real estate agent commissions, marketing and advertising, closing costs paid by the Seller); and üHolding the property (mortgage interest, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc.).

I'd be curious to know what it is that is so enticing in your mailers.Are you getting a lot of tire kickers?

You need to offer them something for free that will entice them to accept your email newsletter.

The nice lady also pays her share $115 on time our local hud pays the bulk and is trying to entice Landlords to open up more units for section 8 so raised rents to a closer market rate.

@Ben Lukes be very careful on both fronts; leasing to a corporation, and taking a year up front even though it sounds  enticing!

Since I am young I am less risk averse than most so it's pretty enticing..

Not to mention, they usually can't sell because their price is out of wack, and the previous agent may have even tried enticing them to lower it.Best option is to call right away, have a very good script prepared to lead the conversation, then put them in your file if you're turned down, and callback within 2mos down the road, then keep repeating as long as the house is still unsold.

Just looking for how to entice one and what the most logical deal would be.
