Has PR filed probate and been appointed?

With all of that said, I would take the appointment for a few reasons.  1. confirm the rehab in person  2. build rapport with the home owner, find out their real story and numbers, many times they don't open up to you on first phone call, it can take an in person meeting to find out the real details 3. maybe there is hidden value in the property (a second buildable lot, a unfinished basement, a really large attic that can be converted into a 1/2 story, who knows). 4.

I have an appointment in Monday afternoon to go over this.

Once they call, you should get their email address and any and all details about their property and finally ask for an appointment.  

Many of our homes for sell are shown by appointment only, so the agent has more control over who gets in.

I am self appointed Robert Kawasaki disciple.

I've called 12 companies, of which 7 never returned my call, 4 made an appointment for a bid but never showed up (including one company that outright lied to my face that they were there at the same time I was), and the 1 who showed up but bid twice my budget.

It was hard to schedule an appointment with the city inspector, and he withheld the permit because of a non-working electric outlet.
