Make a lot of phone calls!

Rachel,I always start the conversation with who I am, what I do, and try and find out if the person on the other end of the phone has a need to do something with their real estate.

After nearly two years of false and missing information, unreturned phone calls, uncollected rent and unanswered emails, we had enough.

Much has been written here on BP about the Sub-2 and installment contracts, all have the due on sale clause as a common risk.

This most commonly would be achieved by getting the properties under contract to purchase with an inspection period, or working out some type of option to sell deal with the seller.I'm not a coach so I won't get into much more detail other than that.

Or you could pick up the phone and cold call but you have to be careful and make sure your cold calls are not on the do not call list.

(Your phone #)When they call, get their info.

You called the police station asking for money and they laughed at you and hung up the phone.

If the person has a common name it's more difficult.

This is probably one of the largest factors in the "common" {mis}perception that low-flow toilets do not perform as well.
