However, a general comment is that lenders are thin on margin right now to entice customers into the market.   

Yes, it SOUNDS very enticing...a $2300.00 per month coming in but I have to agree with Jon again.

I ran some numbers on an offer and it looks enticing at 10-11% annualized ROI assuming the property value stays flat over 10 years.

So......What other industries can be enticed to turn property into their needs for monthly rental fee?

So if you can solve this guy's problems, you'll earn his business, if you cant' solve his problem you might be enticed to hide your intentions or motives.

Maybe, the seller wants to, or can be enticed to place that cash with you, so they earn interest on it.

Comps are higher, around $60-70k for sink hole damage on 3/2/2's The owner does need a reality check, and she is enticed by cash up front.

They won't charge you for the pre-qual (nobody should EVER charge you for a pre-qual) -- the goal is to try to entice you to switch to their preferred lender.

If the numbers don't entice them though, it doesn't really matter how much trust you've built.If you really want to nail down how to pitch someone, don't think of it as a pitch, but think of it as a dialogue.

vs a $600k wouldn't entice me enough to be stuck in a potentially precarious situation.
