I would like the collective input and wisdom of you, forum members, to test and prompt my further planning and pre-empting as I plan to write the contracts and do the transaction.

I have to write a cover letter by September 30 for this job post: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/rej/5231828309.html I've never written a cover letter.

My formula for marketing directly to trust and estate PR's is: Write > Call > KnockThe reason is that it's easier to call someone when you are following up on a conversation that initiated in a letter. 

How do you know the appraised value when writing your LOI?

Here are the Numbers:Listed: $98,000 Assume they have a full price offer of ($98,000- (6%commission+1.5-3%misc closing costs) = $89,180-$92,120 would be the net to the bank depending on actual closing costs (it is unlikely that it will actually be 9% but...)I was going to write up an offer for $85,000 plus all closing costs (capped at 9% of offer). so my offer would be up to $92,650 net to the bank (at best).Q3: Is the above a stronger offer than the offer they may be getting at full asking price less closing costs?

Is it better to hand write the yellow letter?

I am also planning to open a cleaning company that cleans my rentals to do some of my own cleaning and charge the company as well write off the cleaning supplies and what not.

Cant wait to write about my first flip!

If she balks, and says she accepted your offer in writing, you have to perform or back out and lose your deposit.

Before anything else, I would suggest you take a piece of paper and write out the reason you want to become an investor.
