There is a great Warren Buffett quote that goes something like this "When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience winds up with the money and person with the money winds up with the experience " Sounds like you are already skeptical of this potential partner and the fact that you found him through an advertisement should be cause for concern, usually people that are able to provide impressive returns on capital do not need to advertise, especially in this low interest rate environment where investors are getting far less than 1% in the banks.

Matthew, you're just lost like all new agents, LOLDon't advertise unless you have a listing to advertise, not on a thin budget.Not sure what you meant by getting your client a ROI, that is a myth that a Realtor can determine a property's ROI, you can't, unless the client gives you their financial information and their use of cash.

Build a buyers list, call around and find a wholesaler friendly title company that will do the title work, and start advertising and making offers. it seems so complicated until you complete the first deal and then you will say to yourself that was easy!

This is very helpful information when you want to do a marketing campaign.

Jeff: Sue I see on the internet/direct mail advertisement you are offering a reduced rate for loan origination I was hoping I might eliminate them as I have been calling around and I was surprised some are.

I'm not sure most areas have such a list and even if it was just fine to advertise to that list, I suspect the person meant to BCC everyone on the email.

I have been using yellow letters to market to absentee owners and I want to expand my direct mail marketing campaign to owners who have been missing payments and have received a Notice of Default as I believe there is more motivation to sell.I have been using traditional yellow letter message, "Hi I am Robert and I want to buy your house quickly for cash".
