It is only a 2-page contract that communicates everything needed to get the job done.

so you can see both sides.. or should she talk to a investors who has a laundry list of questions .. and criteria.. ( I love that one) that is so unrealistic that its simply a waste of time.with my agents only a few were really good with investors.. they knew how to vette them and cut lose the time wasters.. but to say an industry is 95% bad is just a poor statement in my mind.. its just like saying all wholesalers are scum.. or all of anything are scums.. if you choose to work with investors buying low end SFR;s I get it more power to you.. but there is another world out there and for good agents that are investors agents know where the deals are and get fed off market deals.. they simply choose who they work with .. they don't need to take on newbie type buyers..

That means if I skip out or get hit by a truck, the house is yours and you stand half a shot of recovering some or all of your money.   

Looking for referral for contractors who can provide quality work with excellent communication.

Hi Everyone,How do you you find off market deals or deals in general before they hit MLS.If you do drive by's how do you communicate with the owner of the potential home?

I kept a soft communication and during a coffee meeting I provided real quotes from contractors.

I took on the role of communicating with the tenants, which I was glad to because I could put the principles from Chris Voss' book "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended on It" into use (i.e. mirroring, labeling, tactical empathy).

For example, take the Austin Independent School District:Such escalating prices [in Austin] have taken a toll on the Austin Independent School District, where the city’s lack of affordable housing and the increase in multi-family developments “has negatively impacted the school district's projected growth,” Reyne Telles, the district’s executive director of communications and community engagement, said."

Even if they get partial or all of their capital back, they are typically in the same stakeholder position but their ROI projections goes up.

Use written communications only and just follow the process.
