I purchased the book of all parcels, went through by zip code and identified the ones I was interested in (over 100) and watched as the auction date approached and they were all satisfied and taken off the auction list by the time the auction happened. 

I have been approached by a client has 13 homes for sale.

For all of the reasons cited in this post, and many more, we always advise our clients and customers to take a belt and suspenders approach to these issues.

So I feel like I've handled the major objections to trying me out, if I can just get in the door.Here are some of the things I've tried (with varying levels of persistence, I admit), none of which have proven all that useful so far:Cold calls - Some aimed at agents I've identified with some level of interest in online marketing, some aimed at agents who I can tell have good photos, etc.Emails - Same targeting as the cold calls, just trying the approach first with email.Post cards - Using Zillow, identifying properties for sale and sending a post card directly to the homeowner with a follow-up email to the agent.

How should approach this deal?   

________________________________RE: NCOne question I have as a “newbie” is trying to figure out if this seller-financed approached is directly in conflict with the community of realtors and brokers out there.

If sellers arent saying yes to you then it is your approach. 

This SFR was bought with cash and was wondering when the refinance step approaches, what is the best way to find the most beneficial percentage of being cashed out at?

He makes sure he buys for a price that more than compensates him for his time and makes a healthy profit.
