If you let a foreigner do the calling for you... and the seller gets a hint of that accent or broken English..

Oh and i know a guy who hired a lot of people in foreign countries to hand write these letters with an ink pen.

@Hattie Dizmond  being old school the thought of going into a real estate deal without actually buying it is a foreign concept for me..

@Bill Gulley & @Dionne DePaoli have helped me wrap my head around {at least partially} the {slightly} foreign lending practices and regulations in the U.S.A.

If a seller was informed in an honest way of what their home was worth like an agent does you would have no real need for these middle men who are just skimming equity.. however on the flip side .. if someone goes to the trouble to find a seller and offers cash NOT BS cash but real cash and closes then holds it for a period of time then they can sell for whatever they want.. just cant tell someone that there house is only worth 50k because they are clueless or old or foreigners etc.. close on it never touch it and sell it next day for 150k.. that is unconscionable profit taking. 

Very, very interesting. 8-12% marketing dollars is totally foreign to me, but it's got me thinking.

Even if you're uncertain what to say or talk about just having the courage to do something which may seem foreign will go a long way.The multi-family arena is a great play for a person who is really good with numbers and has a strong vision. 

I also had a foreign investor who I was in touch with but after a while had to request we not spend any more time on the phone until he had something under contract because of the phone rates...... just realized Whatsapp would have been a great solution...
