Watch out for fine print that requires an additional fee at closing.

So now I'm just reading the actual printed changes.Update - looks like we wouldn't have to worry about the self sustainability rule going conventional and the down payment was lowered from 15% (2units) 25% (3-4 Unit) down to 5% across the board and doesn't need to meet the self sustainability rule.

A legit contractor already has his contracts printed up , with all the terms and conditions , and state legal requirements , then they attach the scope of work .  

They tell their seminar attendees to get pre approved with a hard money lender, establish a working relationship first, then go find the deal.A real "pre approval" (not the print it yourself letter from their website) from a hard money lender is impossible, since the loan depends on the property being offered as collateral itself, and not primarily on the borrower's credit or capacity.  

Don't email it, print it out and deliver to the property if you can, or at minimum to the office.If you're marketing to realtors that don't know you, bring it to the open house....visit at least 5 a weekend. 

Printing works fine.

If you print out a few flyers here and there or print your contracts etc it's part of the desk fees.

But it also has the effect that you are just an amateur not an actual company.There are better ways to come across as someone that is serious, has money, is legit and real.Get a clean printed letter, state in non generic terms (not a template letter), who you are, what you do, why you do, with your name, number, email, company logo, website and send that to them.Nothing works better, I promise you that!

I told a group of investors - guys like me - on a conference call in 2020 that while (in my belief) it was important to print dollars to keep the country afloat and help people trapped in their homes to have a way to eat, heat their homes, etc., the end result would be inflation. 

And check the fine print for any fees.
