Hey all,Im glad to be a new member of this great community, ive been reading the forums for a few weeks and its amazing to see the tremendous amount of quality information available here!

I am currently working with sellers of quality (non-rehab, non-forclosure) homes w/ tenants and/or tenant ready...

What is the exact method that you have refined and turns out works the best?

What is the method that you use to prequalify sellers before meeting with them to negotiate a deal?

I was very impressed with the quality of people running Entrust.Consequently, I chose to use Entrust as my IRA custodian.

"Of course you flip will be of much better quality" In other words, don't try to make all the money you'll ever need on one deal.

I actually do all showings, the method and timing varies depending on the market.

Do focus on both the quantity of the response and the quality.

My experience says they are more concerned about the quality of the offer and the bottom line number then they are about if they get some loan business.

First state with a bottle bill, first major metro area with an urban growth boundary (Portland), focus on green issues, right to die stand, exemption from the federal Medicare program so that they can factor in quality of life when deciding what is to be covered.OR tends to be split politically.
