For me, it feels a bit more like a follow-up letter in a series, not a cold introduction letter.

So don't think you are in a HGTV episode, or in some cold market, where you have to make the house brand new.  

I should add that door knocking, cold calling, etc., is all fine and dandy if it's YOU.  

Because I'm 2000 miles away, this caused a lot of anxiety and stress that I would just prefer to avoid.

The reception was warm but the deal went cold for a few months, while she waited for the tenant to get their act together and assume the loan.  

why not just cold-call?...

you are welcome -- this particular company that offered the 2 hour "dinner" workshop (cold sandwich, bag of chips, apple and soda), had everything under one umbrella, buy and hold houses, you can get your LLC under this umbrella, learn about trading stocks, all for $30K -- they will come to your state and help you find deals  -- not one bit of it is true!

From education, technology, domestic and basically cold calling , door knocking to running my own businesses to losing them.

I consistently door knock and cold call so I can start to look for deals that way but they want to buy foreclosures as well.Thank you!

Any of you all have a go-to cold calling script for could be tenants of a distressed property?
