Buying that ugly house on a nice block will pay you handsomely in the future.

You're paying rent, but it's an investment that will pay handsomely down the road.

having been around this bizz for decades now on the private lending side I will tell you many to most private lenders started in the mom and pop rental bizz tire of it and switch to be the bank.. and right now wih rates up there return would be quite handsome .. but you do need to use caution..

The program has already started paying me handsomely and its cranking up even faster already as I have added 3 RE properties to fund it even faster.Highly recommend if you can swing the initial cash investment (no I won't tell you how much it is).

Just joking.....Back to my initial "theory" that Bay Area is better choice than out of state D class, below are some examples that I think will appreciate handsomely...SFH in Redwood city at $675Khttps://www.ziprealty.com/property/3624-PAGE-ST-RE...Brand New SFH home by KB home for $600K ish...http://www.kbhome.com/new-homes-bay-area/eden-coveHayes Valley studio in San Francisco for $499Khttps://www.ziprealty.com/property/150-PAGE-ST-_UN...All these will be negative cash flow of $300 to $500 a month for a good 5 years, but you will get LOTS of appreciation....I think

That's a handsome return for a pretty passive approach.  

You all need to go after motivated sellers, not just off-market sellers.FSBO are all about offmarket, but most of the time FSBO want market value.So to answer your question, and to be more helpful and of value than you think...here is what you need to do.Distinguish off market sellers, from motivated off market sellers, because this distinction in your marketing efforts will make ALL the difference when it comes to  results.Then reverse engineer your strategy based on the behavior and distinction of those motivated off market sellers.So if you understand what I am saying here... your question about "templates" is wrong.It is not about where do you find templates for off-market deals... your question should be, where do you find  motivated seller off market deals... because when you know where they are.. you don't need no stinking templates.You just need to explain how the process works and the result...well:If I had a mic, I would drop it right about now.Good luck my handsome feller!

Obviously, I profited handsomely while doing it.
