I have his phone number but wanted to come up with a good proposal before I call him and pitch my idea.

Are there local hard money lenders that will actually talk to you or is it pretty hard to get a real person on the phone?

Quote from @Derrick Lewis: Was the customer satisfied at least after your phone call?  

She has an excellent tenant profile, but private rental home inventory is low at holiday time.QUESTIONS:Would it be too much to1. locate the owner's email or phone number and then contact them?

TLDR: Pre-approval seems like a good thing but it can lead to lost bookings or a time sink (has anyone spent less than 20-30 minutes on the phone with VRBO trying to fix something??).

Willing to chat more over the phone or Zoom if you’re interested. 

I talked to numerous California investors in real life and phone/Zoom calls who have lost money in far away OOS markets, mostly Midwest markets (e.g. repairs, capital expenses, bad tenants, properties vandalized while under renovation, evicted tenant stole all the appliances, property managers with high fees or overcharging for repairs).

Quote from @Bill H Reed: Have a question regarding this topic..I have several mobile homes in Tennessee and there's a large pasture behind them which has a lot of field mice and they have a tendency to get in the house there's no way to stop this..

I had already had a great phone conversation with Bob Dreher and am on their investor list.

Is there something I need to do to get my phone number and name disassociated with these properties or at least made private?
